Dynamic instability of microtubules: effect of catastrophe-suppressing drugs.
Microtubules are stiff filamentary proteins that constitute an important component of the cytoskeleton of cells. These are known to exhibit a dynamic instability. A steadily growing microtubule can suddenly start depolymerizing very rapidly; this phenomenon is known as a "catastrophe." However, often a shrinking microtubule is "rescued" and starts polymerizing again. Here we develop a model for...
متن کاملdynamic coloring of graph
در این پایان نامه رنگ آمیزی دینامیکی یک گراف را بیان و مطالعه می کنیم. یک –kرنگ آمیزی سره ی رأسی گراف g را رنگ آمیزی دینامیکی می نامند اگر در همسایه های هر رأس v?v(g) با درجه ی حداقل 2، حداقل 2 رنگ متفاوت ظاهر شوند. کوچکترین عدد صحیح k، به طوری که g دارای –kرنگ آمیزی دینامیکی باشد را عدد رنگی دینامیکی g می نامند و آنرا با نماد ?_2 (g) نمایش می دهند. مونت گمری حدس زده است که تمام گراف های منتظم ...
15 صفحه اولMathematical Modeling of Dynamic Instability in Microtubules
Microtubules are biological polymers that have many functions in cells, such as support and structure in the cytoskeleton, providing avenues and mechanisms for intracellular transportation, and separating chromatids during cell division. Microtubule dynamic instability is an integral part of cell functioning, enabling microtubules to rapidly find and change spatial arrangements and interact wit...
متن کاملNote on the dynamic instability of microtubules
Note on the dynamic instability of microtubules Abstract If the dynamic instability of microtubules follows a gamma distribution then one can associate to it a Cantor set. Microtubules (MTs), the main protein polymeric filaments of the cell cy-toskeleton, are a well-defined biological system where methods in condensed matter, statistical mechanics and the theory of complex systems have been app...
متن کاملDynamic Simulation and Mechanical Properties of Microtubules
This work is conducted to obtain mechanical properties of microtubule. For this aim, interaction energy in alpha-beta, beta-alpha, alpha-alpha, and beta-beta dimers was calculated using the molecular dynamic simulation. Force-distance diagrams for these dimers were obtained using the relation between potential energy and force. Afterwards, instead of each tubulin, one sphere with 55 KDa weight ...
