Effect of internal friction on biofilament dynamics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider biofilaments-flexible multimolecule structures common in cell biology-and show how "internal" friction associated with either conformational fluctuations or with fluid flow through narrow pores inside the filaments can dominate the external hydrodynamic friction usually considered to be the main energy dissipation process. The signature of this is wave-number-independent relaxation time of bending fluctuations. Preliminary experimental data for bending fluctuations of single folded (mitotic) chromosomes display these dynamics.

Computational fluid dynamics study and GA modeling approach of the bend angle effect on thermal-hydraulic characteristics in zigzag channels
In the study, the thermal-hydraulic performance of the zigzag channels with circular cross-section was analyzed by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The standard K-Ꜫ turbulent scalable wall functions were used for modeling. The wall temperature was assumed constant 353 K and water was used as the working fluid. The zigzag serpentine channels with bend angles of 5 - 45° were studied for turbul...
متن کاملEstimation of Internal Friction angle for Carbonate Soils of the Southern Iranian Coasts
Abstract: The present work is conducted to investigate the effect of texture and carbonate content on internal friction angle of carbonate soils. Carbonate soils are majorly found in the bed of shallow waters and also offshores in tropical regions. Recently there is a huge construction projects including oil and gas extraction platform and facilities, harbors, refineries, huge bridges and ot...
متن کاملConformational dynamics and internal friction in homopolymer globules: equilibrium vs. non-equilibrium simulations.
We study the conformational dynamics within homopolymer globules by solvent-implicit Brownian dynamics simulations. A strong dependence of the internal chain dynamics on the Lennard-Jones cohesion strength ε and the globule size N (G) is observed. We find two distinct dynamical regimes: a liquid-like regime (for ε < ε(s) with fast internal dynamics and a solid-like regime (for ε > ε(s) with slo...
متن کاملQuantifying internal friction in unfolded and intrinsically disordered proteins with single-molecule spectroscopy.
Internal friction, which reflects the "roughness" of the energy landscape, plays an important role for proteins by modulating the dynamics of their folding and other conformational changes. However, the experimental quantification of internal friction and its contribution to folding dynamics has remained challenging. Here we use the combination of single-molecule Förster resonance energy transf...
متن کاملIntegrated view of internal friction in unfolded proteins from single-molecule FRET, contact quenching, theory, and simulations.
Internal friction is an important contribution to protein dynamics at all stages along the folding reaction. Even in unfolded and intrinsically disordered proteins, internal friction has a large influence, as demonstrated with several experimental techniques and in simulations. However, these methods probe different facets of internal friction and have been applied to disparate molecular system...
