  16. [Illinois] Beckman Graduate Seminar: Dispersion-relation Spectroscopy of Intracellular Transport

    18 Dec 2012 | | Contributor(s):: Ru Wang

    The interior of a living cell is a busy place. Molecular motors move materials along prescribed biopolymer tracks. This sort of active transport is required to rapidly move products over large distances within the cell, where passive diffusion is too slow. Just as understanding the flow of...

  17. [Illinois] Beckman Graduate Seminar: Membrane Sculpting by F-BAR Domains Studied by Molecular Dynamics Simulations

    18 Dec 2012 | | Contributor(s):: Hang Yu

    Interplay between cellular membranes and their peripheral proteins drives many processes in eukaryotic cells. Proteins of the Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain family, in particular, play a role in cellular morphogenesis, for example curving planar membranes into tubular membranes. However, it is...
