Sequence-Dependent Viscoelasticity of Biomolecular Condensates

چکیده
Biomolecular condensates are complex liquid-like subcellular organelles that segregate client molecules from their environment for intracellular storage, signaling, and the amplification of biochemical processes. The material properties a biomolecular condensate essential to its physiological function. Emerging reports suggest on liquid-end viscoelastic spectrum functional, whereas solid-end often linked pathological states. However, molecular driving forces underlying origin viscoelasticity is currently unknown, except qualitative assessment asymptotic cases where purely liquid or solid in nature. Here, using optical tweezers, we implement active passive microrheology quantitatively assess series artificial peptide-RNA condensates. Our experiments fluids with time-dependent viscous elastic moduli, extent elasticity these precisely encoded by amino acid sequence composition patterning polypeptide chains. By scanning formed broad range peptide sequences, uncover simple analytics control components continuous manner. These results provide critical insights into determinants could shed light mechanism context-dependent transformations bio-condensates.

Novel Approaches to Biomolecular Sequence Indexing
In many biomolecular database applications involving string/sequence data, it is common to have similarity search in the form of near neighbor queries or nearest neighbor queries. The similarity between strings/sequences are typically measured in terms of the least costly set of allowed edit operations that transform one string/sequence to another. In this survey, we briefly describe some of th...
متن کاملTime-dependent tunneling of Bose-Einstein condensates
The influence of atomic interactions on time-dependent tunneling processes of Bose-Einstein condensates is investigated. In a variety of contexts the relevant condensate dynamics can be described by a Landau-Zener equation modified by the appearance of nonlinear contributions. Based on this equation it is discussed how the interactions modify the tunneling probability. In particular, it is show...
متن کاملPart-level Sequence Dependent Setup Time Reduction in CMS
This paper presents the idea of creating cells while reducing part-level sequence-dependent setup time in general cellular manufacturing systems (CMS). Setup time reduction in CMS has gained modest attention in the literature. This could be attributed to the fact that the fundamental problem in cell formation in CMS has been mainly related to material handling and machine utilization while setu...
متن کاملColour merging for the visualization of biomolecular sequence data
This paper introduces a novel technique for the visualization of data at various levels of detail. This is based on a colour-based representation of the data, where “high level” views of the data are obtained by merging colours together to obtain a summary-colour which represents a number of data-points. This is applied to the problem of visualizing biomolecular sequence data and picking out fe...
