Membrane Thinning and Thickening Induced by Membrane-Active Amphipathic Peptides
Membrane thinning has been discussed as a fundamental mechanism by which antimicrobial peptides can perturb cellular membranes. To understand which factors play a role in this process, we compared several amphipathic peptides with different structures, sizes and functions in their influence on the lipid bilayer thickness. PGLa and magainin 2 from X. laevis were studied as typical representative...
متن کاملActive microrheology in active matter systems: Mobility, intermittency, and avalanches.
We examine the mobility and velocity fluctuations of a driven particle moving through an active matter bath of self-mobile disks for varied density or area coverage and varied activity. We show that the driven particle mobility can exhibit nonmonotonic behavior that is correlated with distinct changes in the spatiotemporal structures that arise in the active media. We demonstrate that the probe...
متن کاملDriven motion of colloids in active microrheology
In active microrheology, a strong external force is applied to a colloidal probe immersed in a complex fluid, so that among other quantities the nonlinear force-velocity relation can be measured. It provides information on the local viscoelastic properties of the complex fluid or soft solid. Generally, in dense fluids, the probe’s friction coefficient decreases strongly with increasing force [1...
متن کاملHydrodynamic interactions in active colloidal crystal microrheology.
In dense colloids it is commonly assumed that hydrodynamic interactions do not play a role. However, a found theoretical quantification is often missing. We present computer simulations that are motivated by experiments where a large colloidal particle is dragged through a colloidal crystal. To qualify the influence of long-ranged hydrodynamics, we model the setup by conventional Langevin dynam...
متن کاملActive microrheology in a colloidal glass.
We study the dynamics of a probe particle driven by a constant force through a colloidal glass of hard spheres. This nonequilibrium and anisotropic problem is investigated using a new implementation of the mode-coupling approximation with multiple relaxation channels and Langevin dynamics simulations. A force threshold is found, below which the probe remains localized, while above it the probe ...
