The physical principles underpinning self-organization in plants.
Based on laboratory based growth of plant-like structures from inorganic materials, we present new theory for the emergence of plant structure at a range of scales dictated by levels of ionization, which can be traced directly back to proteins transcribed from genetic code and their interaction with external sources of charge in real plants. Beyond a critical percolation threshold, individual c...
متن کاملDetermining physical principles of subcellular organization.
Recent advances have transformed our understanding of cell biology, but we are still unable to predict the behaviors of these systems. One difficulty is that we lack an understanding of the physical principles of subcellular organization. Combining quantitative experiments with new theoretical insights may allow such principles to be developed.
متن کاملSelf-organization principles of intracellular pattern formation
Dynamic patterning of specific proteins is essential for the spatiotemporal regulation of many important intracellular processes in procaryotes, eucaryotes, and multicellular organisms. The emergence of patterns generated by interactions of diffusing proteins is a paradigmatic example for self-organization. In this article we review quantitative models for intracellular Min protein patterns in ...
متن کاملPhysical principles for DNA tile self-assembly.
DNA tiles provide a promising technique for assembling structures with nanoscale resolution through self-assembly by basic interactions rather than top-down assembly of individual structures. Tile systems can be programmed to grow based on logical rules, allowing for a small number of tile types to assemble large, complex assemblies that can retain nanoscale resolution. Such algorithmic systems...
متن کاملVariational principles and self-organization in two-fluid plasmas.
Self-organization of an ordered structure occurs in a plasma under rather restrictive conditions. A new framework for a variational principle invokes a coercive form that results in a criterion for self-organizing relaxation of a two-fluid plasma. The constraints (constants of motion of the ideal model) are adjusted, through a weakly dissipative process, so that the relaxed state, under well-de...
