Assembly of Cytoskeletal Filaments

17.4K
Cytoskeletal filaments are polymeric forms of smaller protein subunits. However, individual cytoskeletal filaments may easily disassemble or associate with other similar filaments to form rigid structures. Microfilaments, made of actin monomers, rely on actin-binding proteins to form bundles and create networks of individual actin filaments. Microtubules rely on microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) to form sturdy cylindrical structures. However, the proteins involved in forming complex...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Algorithms for Numerical Problem Solving

438
Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.
In individual population analyses, different algorithms are employed, such as Cauchy's method, which uses a...

Protein Complex Assembly

12.5K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Assembly of Complex Microtubule Structures

2.1K
Complex microtubule structures are present in resting cells and in dividing cells. In resting cells, they are responsible for maintaining the cellular architecture, tracks for intracellular transport, positioning of organelles, assembly of cilia and flagella. They mediate the bipolar spindle assembly for chromosomal segregation and positioning of the cell division plate in dividing cells. The formation of microtubule complex structures depends on the cell type, cell stage, and cell function.

Area of Science:

  • Algorithmic self-assembly
  • Biomolecular engineering
  • Computational nanotechnology

Background:

  • Efficient tile sets are crucial for algorithmic self-assembly of rectilinear shapes.
  • Previous methods for deterministic self-assembly of squares required complex tile sets and were intensive laboratory tasks.
  • Tile concentration programming models emerged to leverage rapid tile replication via polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop efficient self-assembly methods for rectangles with fixed aspect ratios using tile concentration programming.
  • To introduce and apply the 'staircase sampling' technique to simplify and improve self-assembly processes.
  • To analyze the tile complexity of new self-assembly algorithms under different concentration programming models.

Main Methods:

  • Development and application of the 'staircase sampling' technique for self-assembly.
  • Analysis of self-assembly using the tile concentration programming model.
  • Application of staircase sampling to the equimolar concentration programming model.

Main Results:

  • Self-assembly of rectangles with a fixed aspect ratio (α:β) achieved with high probability using Θ(α + β) tiles.
  • The staircase sampling technique eliminates the need for binary arithmetic sub-tiles and approximate frames, reducing complexity.
  • Optimal tile complexity of Θ(log(n)) achieved for assembling rectangles on the probabilistic tile assembly model (PTAM).

Conclusions:

  • Staircase sampling offers a significantly more efficient and simplified approach to algorithmic self-assembly of rectangles.
  • The new methods provide stronger results than existing randomized self-assembly techniques for approximate and exact shapes.
  • The findings advance the field of algorithmic self-assembly, particularly in concentration programming models for practical applications.
