Cells run on initiation of protein-protein interactions, which are dynamically tuned spatially and temporally to modulate cellular events. This tuning can be physical, such as attaching …
In this paper, we investigate the generation and controlling of the optical vortex beam using a dye-doped liquid crystal (DDLC) cell. The spatial distribution of the quasi-sinusoidal …
Molecular motors are machines essential for life since they convert chemical energy into mechanical work. However, the precise mechanism by which nucleotide binding, catalysis …

In most microorganisms, cell division is guided by the divisome, a multiprotein complex that assembles at the equator of the cell and is responsible for the synthesis of new cell wall …
Trapping macromolecules is important for the study of their conformations, interactions, dynamics, and kinetic processes. Here, we develop a new theory using a Gaussian …
BiP (immunoglobulin heavy‐chain binding protein) is a Hsp70 monomeric ATPase motor that plays broad and crucial roles in maintaining proteostasis inside the cell. Structurally, BiP …
The Sec61 translocon allows the translocation of secretory preproteins from the cytosol to the endoplasmic reticulum lumen during polypeptide biosynthesis. These proteins possess …
