Previous theories of the Many of the most intriguing biological structures within cells are assemblies of propulsion mechanism predict either a monotonic increase or monotonic various components such as nucleic acids, proteins and lipids. This talk will decrease in mean speed as a function of bead size. We present a simple describe two case studies: one involving the life cycle of bacterial viruses and Brownian ratchet model for actin-based propulsion that yields a maximum in the the other of which involves the action of membrane-bound proteins whose mean speed with quantitatively reasonable predictions for the mean speed as a function is dictated by tension in the surrounding membrane. In particular, I will function of bead size. illustrate how continuum models can be exploited to produce a predictive description of these systems, in the first case treating DNA as a one-dimen- sional elastic rod and in the second, treating lipid-bilayer membranes as an 5. elastic sheet.

Comparison between photoelectron Recent experiments have measured a rate of spontaneous looping in short DNA spectra and theoretical calculations will be used to provide detailed information fragments that is orders of magnitude greater than the prediction of fluctuating about the structures and chemical bonding of oxide clusters. This information is elastic rod models (the wormlike chain and its successors). Generalizations of the prerequisite to understanding the chemical reactivities of the clusters and the wormlike chain model that include fixed, sequence-dependent kinks also providing insight into catalytic mechanisms of metal oxide materials. Preliminary appear to be unable to explain the new results. Instead, the experiments studies on the electronic structure of polyoxometalate anions in the gas phase strongly suggest that DNA can transiently develop sharp kinks, not accounted using electrospray and photoelectron spectroscopy will also be discussed. for by the linear rod elasticity assumed in existing models. The question then arises as to why the elastic-rod models have given such a good account of 6. other experiments on DNA, for example, single-molecule force-extension curves.
