Protein mechanics: from amino acid to swimming cells
Abstract eng: Proteins are long polypeptide chains of amino acids and their structure and biological function are directly related to their amino acid sequence. In this presentation I will discuss three different biological functions that are dominated by protein mechanics, each at their specific time and length scale. To relate structure to function, multiscale computational models have been developed for (i) the beating of cilia and flagella, (ii) the strain-stiffening of cross-linked cytoskeletal networks and (iii) transport through nuclear pores.
