Exact phase diagram of a model with aggregation and chipping.
We reexamine a simple lattice model of aggregation in which masses diffuse and coalesce upon contact with rate 1 and every nonzero mass chips off a single unit of mass and adds it to a randomly chosen neighbor with rate w. The dynamics conserves the average mass density rho and in the stationary state the system undergoes a nonequilibrium phase transition in the (rho-w) plane across a critical ...
متن کاملAggregation of flexible polyelectrolytes: Phase diagram and dynamics.
Similarly charged polymers in solution, known as polyelectrolytes, are known to form aggregated structures in the presence of oppositely charged counterions. Understanding the dependence of the equilibrium phases and the dynamics of the process of aggregation on parameters such as backbone flexibility and charge density of such polymers is crucial for insights into various biological processes ...
متن کاملProtein aggregation profile of the human kinome
Protein aggregation into amyloid fibrils is associated with the onset of an increasing number of human disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and some types of cancer. The ability to form toxic amyloids appears to be a property of most polypeptides. Accordingly, it has been proposed that reducing aggregation and its effect in cell fitness is a driving force in the evolution of prot...
متن کاملProtein Aggregation Profile of the Bacterial Cytosol
BACKGROUND Protein misfolding is usually deleterious for the cell, either as a consequence of the loss of protein function or the buildup of insoluble and toxic aggregates. The aggregation behavior of a given polypeptide is strongly influenced by the intrinsic properties encoded in its sequence. This has allowed the development of effective computational methods to predict protein aggregation p...
متن کاملThe Pressure-Temperature Phase Diagram of Metacetamol and Its Comparison to the Phase Diagram of Paracetamol.
Understanding the polymorphic behavior of active pharmaceutical ingredients is important for formulation purposes and regulatory reasons. Metacetamol is an isomer of paracetamol and it similarly exhibits polymorphism. In the present article, it has been found that one of the polymorphs of metacetamol is only stable under increased pressure, which has led to the conclusion that metacetamol like ...
