Molecular structure of the ParM polymer and the mechanism leading to its nucleotide-driven dynamic instability.
ParM is a prokaryotic actin homologue, which ensures even plasmid segregation before bacterial cell division. In vivo, ParM forms a labile filament bundle that is reminiscent of the more complex spindle formed by microtubules partitioning chromosomes in eukaryotic cells. However, little is known about the underlying structural mechanism of DNA segregation by ParM filaments and the accompanying ...
متن کاملSoret Dufour Driven Thermosolutal Instability of Darcy-maxwell Fluid
Linear stability of double diffusive convection of Darcy-Maxwell fluid with Soret and Dufour effects is investigated. The effects of the Soret and Dufour numbers, Lewis number, relaxation time and solutal Darcy Rayleigh number on the stationary and oscillatory convection are presented graphically. The Dufour number enhances the stability of Darcy-Maxwell fluid for stationary convection while it...
متن کاملKinetics and mechanism of microtubule length changes by dynamic instability.
Microtubules at steady state were found to undergo dramatic changes in length, with only very little change in number concentration and mean length. This result is accounted for by a mechanism in which microtubules are capped at ends by tubulin-GTP subunits; loss of the tubulin-GTP cap at one end results in disassembly of all the tubulin-GDP subunits, so that the medial edge of the distal tubul...
متن کاملDynamical instability in driven colloids
– Brownian-dynamics computer simulations show a dynamical crossover in a strongly interacting colloidal suspension consisting of oppositely driven particles, wherein a uniform state transforms, with increasing driving force, into a locally demixed state characterized by strongly anisotropic stripe-like domains which are homogeneous in the direction parallel to the drive but have finite spatial ...
متن کاملInstability in dynamic fracture.
The fracture of brittle amorphous materials is an especially challenging problem, because the way a large object shatters is intimately tied to details of cohesion at microscopic scales. This subject has been plagued by conceptual puzzles, and to make matters worse, experiments seemed to contradict the most "rmly established theories. In this review, we will show that the theory and experiments...
