Rheology of active-particle suspensions.
We study the interplay of activity, order, and flow through a set of coarse-grained equations governing the hydrodynamic velocity, concentration, and stress fields in a suspension of active, energy-dissipating particles. We make several predictions for the rheology of such systems, which can be tested on bacterial suspensions, cell extracts with motors and filaments, or artificial machines in a...
متن کاملAggregation and particle formation of tRNA by dendrimers.
Major attention has been focused on dendrimer-DNA complexes because of their applications in gene delivery systems. Dendrimers are also used to transport miRNA and siRNA in vitro. We examine the interaction of tRNA with several dendrimers of different compositions, mPEG-PAMAM (G3), mPEG-PAMAM (G4), and PAMAM (G4) under physiological conditions using constant tRNA concentration and various dendr...
متن کاملEmulsion Formation, Stability, and Rheology
Emulsions are a class of disperse systems consisting of two immiscible liquids [1–3]. The liquid droplets (the disperse phase) are dispersed in a liquid medium (the continuous phase). Several classes may be distinguished: oil-in-water (O/W), water-in-oil (W/O), and oil-in-oil (O/O). The latter class may be exemplified by an emulsion consisting of a polar oil (e.g., propylene glycol) dispersed i...
متن کاملAmyloid Formation by Transthyretin: From Protein Stability to Protein Aggregation
In recent years the issues of protein stability, folding and aggregation have become central in several pathological conditions and in particular in amyloid diseases. Here, we review the recent developments on the molecular mechanisms of amyloid formation by transthyretin (TTR), in particular, in what concerns to protein conformational stability, protein folding and
متن کاملCharacterization of the nucleation barriers for protein aggregation and amyloid formation.
Despite the complexity and the specificity of the amino acid code, a variety of peptides and proteins unrelated in sequence and function exhibit a common behavior and assemble into highly organized amyloid fibrils. The formation of such aggregates is often described by a nucleation and growth mechanism, in which the proteins involved also form intermediate oligomeric aggregates before they reor...
