Active spiralling of microtubules driven by kinesin motors

Active spiralling of microtubules driven by kinesin motors

Abstract Cytoskeletal filaments propelled by surface-bound motor proteins can be viewed as active polymers, a class of active matter. When constraints are imposed on their movements, the propelled cytoskeletal filaments show dynamic patterns distinct from equilibrium conformations. Pinned at their l...
