A Statistical-Thermodynamic Model of Viral Budding

A statistical-thermodynamic model of viral budding.

We present a simple statistical thermodynamic model for budding of viral nucleocapsids at the cell membrane. The membrane is modeled as a flexible lipid bilayer embedding linker (spike) proteins, which serve to anchor and thus wrap the membrane around the viral capsids. The free energy of a single bud is expressed as a sum of the bending energy of its membrane coat, the spike-mediated capsid-me...

STATISTICAL-MECHANICAL CALCULATION OF THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF ALBITE USING A TWO-DIMENSIONAL MODEL

the innovation of a statistical model to estimate dependable rainfall (dr) and develop it for determination and classification of drought and wet years of iran

آب حاصل از بارش منبع تأمین نیازهای بی شمار جانداران به ویژه انسان است و هرگونه کاهش در کم و کیف آن مستقیماً حیات موجودات زنده را تحت تأثیر منفی قرار می دهد. نوسان سال به سال بارش از ویژگی های اساسی و بسیار مهم بارش های سالانه ایران محسوب می شود که آثار زیان بار آن در تمام عرصه های اقتصادی، اجتماعی و حتی سیاسی- امنیتی به نحوی منعکس می شود. چون میزان آب ناشی از بارش یکی از مولفه های اصلی برنامه ...

A statistical thermodynamic model of the organizational order of vegetation

The complex pattern of vegetation is the macroscopic manifestation of biological diversity and the ecological order in space and time. How is this overwhelmingly diverse, yet wonderfully ordered spatial pattern formed, and how does it evolve? To answer these questions, most traditional approaches have been empirical and inductive, based primarily on vegetation classification and gradient analys...

A statistical thermodynamic model of the protein ensemble.

To understand the structural basis of biology, it is necessary to understand the transformations of macromolecules during functional cycles. These changes can involve large-scale conformational transformations, changes in the state of ligation or association, changes in dynamics, or alterations in covalent bond structure. X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy have been invaluable for the d...
