The impact of magnetic field on the conformations of supracolloidal polymer-like structures with super-paramagnetic monomers [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Liquids (2020): 112761, 2020 We investigate the properties of magnetic supracolliodal polymers -- magnetic filaments (MFs) -- with super-paramagnetic monomers, with and without Van der Waals (VdW) attraction between them. We employ molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to elucidate the impact of crosslinking mechanism on the structural and magnetic response of MFs to an applied ...

Crosslinked biopolymer bundles: crosslink reversibility leads to cooperative binding/unbinding phenomena [PDF]
J. Chem. Phys. 136, 035102 (2012), 2011 We consider a biopolymer bundle consisting of filaments that are crosslinked together. The crosslinks are reversible: they can dynamically bind and unbind adjacent filament pairs as controlled by a binding enthalpy. The bundle is subjected to a bending deformation and the corresponding distribution of crosslinks is measured.

Constriction of actin rings by passive crosslinkers [PDF]
, 2022 In many organisms, cell division is driven by the constriction of a cytokinetic ring, which consists of actin filaments and crosslinking proteins. While it has long been believed that the constriction is driven by motor proteins, it has recently been discovered that passive crosslinkers that do not turn over fuel are able to generate enough force to ...

Stress relaxation through crosslink unbinding in cytoskeletal networks [PDF]
New J Phys 14, 095029 (2012), 2012 The mechanical properties of cells are dominated by the cytoskeleton, an interconnected network of long elastic filaments. The connections between the filaments are provided by crosslinking proteins, which constitute, next to the filaments, the second important mechanical element of the network.

Biomechanics of Ophthalmic Crosslinking
Translational Vision Science & Technology, 2021 Crosslinking involves the formation of bonds between polymer chains, such as proteins. In biological tissues, these bonds tend to stiffen the tissue, making it more resistant to mechanical degradation and deformation. In ophthalmology, the crosslinking phenomenon is being increasingly harnessed and explored as a treatment strategy for treating corneal ...
