  1. 1. A Monte Carlo study of the particle mobility in crowded nearly one-dimensional systems.

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Ahlberg Sebastian; [2014]
    Keywords : Molecular crowding; Gillespie s algorithm; Random walk; Nearly 1D-model; Particle diffusion;

    Abstract : The study of crowding effects on particle diffusion is a large subject with implications in many scientific areas. The studies span from pure theoretical calculations to experiments actually measuring the movement of proteins diffusing in a cell. READ MORE

  3. 2. Amyloid Nucleation in Presence of Crowders

    Author : Jonas Wessén; [2014]
    Keywords : nucleation; molecular self-assembly; protein physics; statistical mechanics; thermodynamics; fibrilation kinetics; Monte Carlo; Huntington s; Parkinson s; Alzheimer s; molecular crowding; amyloid fibrils; amyloid; protein aggregation; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : During the last few years, crowding effects on the physics of proteins has become an increasingly popular topic of research. This is is because most biological processes involving proteins naturally take place in a crowded environment, e.g. in the cellular environment where macromolecules may occupy 30% of the volume.
