[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...
