固定化鞭毛的动力学研究

Dynamics of Immobilized Flagella

D. Fry, N. Hutchings, A. Ludu

摘要:

尽管在100多年前发现非洲锥虫时就描述了其螺旋状的“游泳”运动,但锥虫鞭毛运动的精确生物力学和生物物理特性尚未阐明。在这项研究中,我们描述了五种不同模式的鞭毛拍/波模式在非洲锥虫通过显微镜检查化学拴系细胞的鞭毛运动。不同的节拍/波模式的动态性质表明,在布氏锥虫鞭毛运动是一个复杂的混合物的振荡波,刚性弯曲,螺旋扭曲和非线性波。有趣的是,我们已经观察到孤立的抑郁症波沿鞭毛膜,这表明该系统的动力学的非线性机制。物理模型的灵感来自于梁的二维弹性动力学,并考虑到分子马达扭矩的均匀分布和曲率中的非线性项。

英文摘要:

Although the auger-like 'swimming' motility of the African trypanosome was described upon its discovery over one hundred years ago, the precise biomechanical and biophysical properties of trypanosome flagellar motion has not been elucidated. In this study, we describe five different modes of flagellar beat/wave patterns in African trypanosomes by microscopically examining the flagellar movements of chemically tethered cells. The dynamic nature of the different beat/wave patterns suggests that flagellar motion in Trypanosoma brucei is a complex mixture of oscillating waves, rigid bends, helical twists and non-linear waves. Interestingly, we have observed soliton-like depression waves along the flagellar membrane, suggesting a nonlinear mechanism for the dynamics of this system. The physical model is inspired by the 2-dimensional elastic dynamics of a beam, and by taking into account uniform distribution of molecular motors torque and nonlinear terms in the curvature.
