Agent-based Simulation of Molecular Processes - An Application to Actin-polymerisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Agent-based modelling is widely used in social and ecological sciences. For biological processes it is an increasingly used technology. Here we used agent-based modelling to simulate the formation of actin filaments, which is a major part in the cytoskeleton of the cell and plays a role in a number of cell functions. We present in this paper three models with different levels of detail and show the potential of using agent-based models in

متن کاملCdc42 and the Rho GEF intersectin-1 collaborate with Nck to promote N-WASP-dependent actin polymerisation.
Vaccinia virus enhances its cell-to-cell spread by inducing Arp2/3-dependent actin polymerisation. This process is initiated by Src- and Abl-mediated phosphorylation of the viral transmembrane protein A36, leading to recruitment of a signalling network consisting of Grb2, Nck, WIP and N-WASP. Nck is a potent activator of N-WASP-Arp2/3-dependent actin polymerisation. However, recent observations...

متن کاملDual-Target Anticancer Drug Candidates: Rational Design and Simulation Studies
This study aims to design some dual-target anticancer candidates, capable to act as an alkylating agent as well as a thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitor. The designed scaffold is a combination of nucleobase, amino acid and aziridine structures. The candidates are docked into TS and three DNA double strand structures and evaluated based on their binding interaction energies and ligand efficienci...
