Spatial extension of stochastic π calculus
We introduce a spatial extension of stochastic π-calculus that provides a formalism to model systems of discrete, connected locations. We define the extended stochastic semantics and also give deterministic semantics in terms of a system of ordinary differential equations. We describe two simple examples, one based on a standard epidemic model and one modelling resistance in plant tissues.
متن کاملFormation of Organic Molecular Nanocrystals under Soft Confinement.
Methods to produce nano-sized organic molecular crystals in thin films are of great interest in the pharmaceutical industry due to the potential benefit of increased solubility of poorly soluble drugs and the advantages of film-based dosage forms over traditional tablet/capsule-based dosage form. One method to directly form organic nanocrystals is by crystallization in confined environments whe...
متن کاملProtein-cofactor binding and ultrafast electron transfer in riboflavin binding protein under the spatial confinement of nanoscopic reverse micelles.
In this contribution, we study the effect of confinement on the ultrafast electron transfer (ET) dynamics of riboflavin binding protein (RBP) to the bound cofactor riboflavin (Rf, vitamin B2), an important metabolic process, in anionic sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate reverse micelles (AOT-RMs) of various hydration levels. Notably, in addition to excluded volume effect, various nonspecif...
متن کاملMechanism of filament formation on ssDNA by RecA protein
RecA protein (RecA) forms a nucleoprotein filament composed of a helical protein array that binds to singlestranded DNA (ssDNA), which in its active form is then able to initiate various reactions. A series of studies to date suggest the following roles of the N-terminal domain on filament formation by RecA. 1) The N-terminal domain of RecA is the functional region for protein-protein interacti...
متن کاملFunctional Assembly of Protein Fragments Induced by Spatial Confinement
Natural proteins are often confined within their local microenvironments, such as three-dimensional confinement in organelles or two-dimensional confinement in lipid rafts on cytoplasmic membrane. Spatial confinement restricts proteins' entropic freedom, forces their lateral interaction, and induces new properties that the same proteins lack at the soluble state. So far, the phenomenon of envir...
