This review summarizes the current understanding of adsorption of polyelectrolytes to
oppositely charged solid substrates, the resulting interaction forces between such …

DNA is the central storage molecule of genetic information in the cell, and reading that
information is a central problem in biology. While sequencing technology has made …

Biological semiflexible polymers and filaments such as collagen, fibronectin, actin,
microtubules, coiled-coil proteins, DNA, siRNA, amyloid fibrils, etc., are ubiquitous in nature …

Run-and-tumble motility is widely used by swimming microorganisms including numerous
prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Here, we experimentally investigate the run-and …

Supramolecular fibers are prominent structures in biology and chemistry. A quantitative
understanding of molecular exchange pathways in these one-dimensional aggregates was …

An early step in intracellular transport is the selective recognition of a vesicle by its
appropriate target membrane, a process regulated by Rab GTPases via the recruitment of …

In this review, we provide an organized summary of the theoretical and computational
results that are available for polymers subject to spatial or topological constraints. Because …

We report the investigation of the mechanical properties of different types of amyloid fibrils
by the peak force quantitative nanomechanical (PF-QNM) technique. We demonstrate that …

The distances over which biological molecules and their complexes can function range from
a few nanometres, in the case of folded structures, to millimetres, for example, during …

During aging, changes occur in the collagen network that contribute to various pathological
phenotypes in the skeletal, vascular, and pulmonary systems. The aim of this study was to …
