马达激活凝胶的非平衡力学和动力学

Non-equilibrium mechanics and dynamics of motor activated gels

Fred C. MacKintosh, Alex J. Levine

摘要:

细胞的力学受到在细胞骨架中产生力的分子马达的强烈影响。我们开发了一个模型,细胞骨架网络驱动的平衡分子马达施加短暂的收缩应力。使用这个模型,我们展示了运动活动如何显着增加网络的体积弹性模量。我们还展示了如何电机绑定动力学自然导致增强的低频应力波动,导致在非平衡扩散运动的弹性网络内,在最近的\emph{in vitro}和\emph{in vivo}实验。

英文摘要:

The mechanics of cells is strongly affected by molecular motors that generate forces in the cellular cytoskeleton. We develop a model for cytoskeletal networks driven out of equilibrium by molecular motors exerting transient contractile stresses. Using this model we show how motor activity can dramatically increase the network's bulk elastic moduli. We also show how motor binding kinetics naturally leads to enhanced low-frequency stress fluctuations that result in non-equilibrium diffusive motion within an elastic network, as seen in recent \emph{in vitro} and \emph{in vivo} experiments.
