Zusammenfassung

The project focuses on computer simulations to study regulatory aspects of intra-cellular architecture. The organization of systems composed of microtubules and associated proteins will be studied, with an emphasis on the proteins that regulate microtubule nucleation, assembly and stability. Regulation is a key element in many cellular structures, needed to get the correct average fiber length and organization. The author proposes to develop simple models to account for the activity of regulatory proteins, and to include them in an existing mechanical model of microtubules and motor pr...
