A statistical model for activation of Factor C by binding to LPS aggregates 19/10/2019
Abstract Published data on Factor C activity at various LPS and Lipid A concentrations (Nakamura et al. in Eur J Biochem 176:89, 1988; Kobayashi et al. in J Biol Chem 37:25987, 2014) were rearranged to show that Factor C exhibited its maximum activity at a specific concentration of LPS. A statistical model was proposed for […]
Viscoelasticity variation in a biofilm-mediated Bacillus subtilis suspension induced by adding polyethylene glycol 01/10/2019
Abstract Recent experiments show that synthetic polymers can influence the degree of microbial aggregation and the rheological properties of bacterial suspensions, the study of which can help us control biofilm formation. In this article, we add polyethylene glycol (PEG) with various molecular weights and concentrations into two types Bacillus subtilis cell cultures, Luria Broth (LB) […]
A model for the chemomechanical coupling of the mammalian cytoplasmic dynein molecular motor 01/10/2019
Abstract Available single-molecule data have shown that some mammalian cytoplasmic dynein dimers move on microtubules with a constant step size of about 8.2 nm. Here, a model is presented for the chemomechanical coupling of these mammalian cytoplasmic dynein dimers. In contrast to the previous models, a peculiar feature of the current model is that the rate […]
