Elastic models of conformational transitions in macromolecules.
We develop a computationally efficient and physically realistic method to simulate the transition of a macromolecule between two conformations. Our method is based on a coarse-grained elastic network model in which contact interactions between spatially proximal parts of the macromolecule are modelled with Gaussian/harmonic potentials. To delimit the interactions in such models, we introduce a ...
متن کاملElastic Free Energy Drives the Shape of Prevascular Solid Tumors
It is well established that the mechanical environment influences cell functions in health and disease. Here, we address how the mechanical environment influences tumor growth, in particular, the shape of solid tumors. In an in vitro tumor model, which isolates mechanical interactions between cancer tumor cells and a hydrogel, we find that tumors grow as ellipsoids, resembling the same, oft-rep...
متن کاملStatistical Shape Models Using Elastic-String Representations
To develop statistical models for shapes, we utilize an elastic string representation where curves (denoting shapes) can bend and locally stretch (or compress) to optimally match each other, resulting in geodesic paths on shape spaces. We develop statistical models for capturing variability under the elastic-string representation. The basic idea is to project observed shapes onto the tangent sp...
متن کاملShape Outlier Detection Using Pose Preserving Dynamic Shape Models
In this paper, we introduce a framework for shape outlier, like carrying object, detection in different people from different views using pose preserving dynamic shape models. We model dynamic human shape deformations in different people using kinematics manifold embedding and decomposition of nonlinear mapping using kernel map and multilinear analysis. The generative model supports pose-preser...
متن کاملRemoving Shape-Preserving Transformations in Square-Root Elastic (SRE) Framework for Shape Analysis of Curves
This paper illustrates and extends an efficient framework, called the square-root-elastic (SRE) framework, for studying shapes of closed curves, that was first introduced in [2]. This framework combines the strengths of two important ideas - elastic shape metric and path-straightening methods - for finding geodesics in shape spaces of curves. The elastic metric allows for optimal matching of fe...
