Computer simulation offers unique possibilities for investigating molecular-level phenomena difficult to probe experimentally. Drawing from a wealth of studies concerning protein folding, computational studies of protein aggregation are emerging. These studies have been successful in capturing aspects of aggregation known from experiment and are being used to refine experimental methods aimed a...

Growth processes occurring far from equilibrium are widespread in nature and technology. Examples include electrodeposition [1], viscous fingering [2], bacterial colonies [3], and neurite formation [4]. Computer models for the growth of clusters, generally constituted of identical particles, are useful tools for the understanding of aggregation phenomena. The main contribution of such models is...

We compared the transcription regulatory interactions inferred from three high-throughput methods. Because these methods use different principles, they have few interactions in common, suggesting they capture distinct facets of the transcription regulatory program. We show that these methods uncover disparate biological phenomena: long-range interactions between telomeres and transcription fact...

There have been intensive studies on the newly discovered phenomena called aggregation induced emission (AIE), in contrast to the conventional aggregation quenching. Through combined quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics computations, we have investigated the aggregation effects on the excited state decays, both via radiative and nonradiative routes, for pyrazine derivatives 2,3-dicyano-5,6...

Flocking, swarming, aggregation there is a multitude of actual real-life phenomena that from the mathematical point of view can be interpreted as one of these concepts. The mathematical description of collective dynamics of self-propelled agents with nonlocal interaction originates from one of the basic equations of kinetic theory – Vlasov’s equation from 1938. Recently it was noted that such m...

Many studies of lignins in solution invoke association and aggregation phenomena to explain their solution behavior (e.g., reprecipitation onto pulp fibers, condensation, etc.). Following their colloidal (apparent) molecular weights in solution as a function of time allows us to explore observable dissociation phenomena. These measurements were carried out using multiple angle laser light scatt...
