  2. 1. Actomyosin in biocomputation

    Author : Aseem Salhotra; Alf Månsson; Henry Hess; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biocomputation; molecular motors; 3-SAT; surface chemistry; actomyosin; actin; myosin II; heavy meromyosin; myosin XI; engineered myosin; in vitro motility assay; nanofabrication; alternate computing; network based biocomputation; protein-surface interaction; longevity; prolongation; surface recycling; affinity purification; blocking actin; Bioteknik; Biotechnology; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : There exist complex mathematical problems that are important in real world applications such as weather prediction, molecular modelling, network route optimization and more. In general, such problems are solved using supercomputers with higher computing efficiency but this also consumes high energy along with high production and maintenance cost. READ MORE

  4. 2. Characterization and optimization of the in vitro motility assay for fundamental studies of myosin II

    Author : Malin Persson; Alf Månsson; Carlo Reggiani; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Myosin II; skeletal muscle; actomyosin; in vitro motility assay; protein adsorption; cargo transportation; CapZ; cross-bridge cycle; inter-head cooperativity; processivity; Biomedical Sciences; Biomedicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : Myosin II is the molecular motor responsible for muscle contraction. It transforms the chemical energy in ATP into mechanical work while interacting with actin filaments in so called cross-bridge cycles. Myosin II or its proteolytic fragments e.g. READ MORE

  5. 3. Biophysical studies of the actin-myosin motor system and applications in nanoscience

    Abstract : The actin-myosin motor system plays important roles in cellular processes. In addition, actin and myosin have been used for developments towards nanotechnological applications in recent years. READ MORE

  6. 4. To unite or disconnect : AmotL2 in tubulogenesis and tumor invasion

    Author : Sara Hultin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : For an epithelial- or endothelial cell sheet or ‐tissue to form, individual cells must come together unite and connect. Contacts to adjacent cells and underlying matrix must be initiated, and the junctional proteins mediating the contacts must be further linked to intracellular cytoskeletal networks. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cytoskeletal Regulation During Embryonic Development in Drosophila melanogaster

    Author : Mojgan Padash; Udo Häckers grupp Utvecklingsbiologi i invertebrater; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Naturvetenskap; Natural science; DRhoGEF2; Actin cytoskeleton; Rho GTPase;

    Abstract : The development of multicellular organisms is associated with extensive rearrangements of cells and tissues. The driving force for these rearrangements is generated by the cell's actin cytoskeleton. During many morphogenetic processes dynamic rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton is regulated by small GTPases of the Rho-family. READ MORE
