Intra- and intercellular fluctuations in Min-protein dynamics decrease with cell length.
Self-organization of proteins in space and time is of crucial importance for the functioning of cellular processes. Often, this organization takes place in the presence of strong random fluctuations due to the small number of molecules involved. We report on stochastic switching of the Min-protein distributions between the two cell halves in short Escherichia coli cells. A computational model p...
متن کاملSingle-cell protein dynamics reproduce universal fluctuations in cell populations.
Protein variability in single cells has been studied extensively in populations, but little is known about temporal protein fluctuations in a single cell over extended times. We present here traces of protein copy number measured in individual bacteria over multiple generations and investigate their statistical properties, comparing them to previously measured population snapshots. We find that...
متن کاملInterface roughening dynamics: temporal width fluctuations and the correlation length.
In this work we study experimentally and numerically the temporal width fluctuations obtained in kinetic roughening of single interfaces. This fluctuative behavior, which results from competing mechanisms in the interface growth process, is shown to contain information on the growth process of the specific interface. We define a measure of the temporal interface width fluctuations in order to e...

The Decrease in Entropy via Fluctuations
Classical and quantum aspects of fluctuations are reviewed in a discussion on the universality of the second law. Consideration is given to the need of information and the requirement of a ratchet and pawl-type mechanism for the utilization of energy from fluctuations. Some aspects of the quantum theory of the Copenhagen school are compared to those of Bohm within the discussion.
