Simulating interactions between cytoskeletal filaments

Abstract
En 中文
The cytoskeleton is a composite network consisting of three different types of filaments. Their interaction contributes to shaping the mechanical properties of cells. The minimal system to study these interactions are two filaments in contact, either directly or via a crosslinker. Such systems have been studied with quadruple optical trap assays. Here we use simulations to study filament–filament interactions. We parametrize these simulations with recent quadruple optical trap assays addressing the interactions of microtubules and vimentin intermediate filament and use them to study whether these experiments can distinguish between interactions via a single bond or multiple bonds.
