It focuses on three important scenarios: the assembly of membrane proteins, the collective response of mechanosensitive channels and the function of the twin arginine translocation (Tat) system. Using methods from equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, general conclusions were drawn that demonstrate the importance of the protein-protein interactions. Namely, in the first part a general aggregation dynamics model is formulated, and used to show that fragmentation crucially affects the efficiency of the self-assembly process of proteins. In the second part, by mapping the membrane-mediated forces into a simplified many-body system, the dynamic and equilibrium behaviour of interacting mechanosensitive channels is derived, showing that protein agglomeration strongly impacts its desired function. The final part develops a model that incorporates both the agglomeration and transp | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Macromolecular dynamics; Mechanosensitive channels; Membrane functional organization; Outstanding PhD t | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-23988-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-26994-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-23988-5Series ISSN 2190-5053 Series E-ISSN 2190-5061 | issn_series | 2190-5053 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012 |
