Sentence examples for crowding spheres from inspiring English sources

In addition, 100,000 immobile crowding spheres with a diameter of 60 nm are placed in the cell.

Parallel kinetic folding experiments with purified Desulfovibro desulfuricans apoflavodoxin in vitro were performed in the presence of Ficoll (sphere) and Dextran (spherocylinder) synthetic crowding agents.

This theory has first been introduced in a microscopic setting (each individual in the crowd being a rigid sphere), but we will not develop this aspect here (the interested reader can refer to the papers by Maury and Venel [69, 70]).

We collectively refer to these contributions as "soft" interactions, also to contrast their effects with "hard-sphere repulsions" according to classical macromolecular crowding theory.

In a simplified model of macromolecular crowding, intracellular background molecules are considered inert hard-spheres that exert steric repulsions on other molecules and thereby increase the total free energy of the system.

Based on hard-sphere models, some authors argue that molecular crowding inside cells may promote non-productive aggregation of unfolded protein chains and, at the same time, enhance folding by favoring more compact states of the chains [46], [47].

At the ns time scale, i.e., in the Å range, crowding induces local nanoviscosity via hydrodynamic interactions, not hard-sphere repulsions.

By means of coarse-grained molecular simulations and topology-based potential interactions, we probed the effects of increased volume fractions of crowding agents (ϕc) as well as of crowding agent geometry (sphere or spherocylinder) at high ϕc.

The crowding factor represents the number of fibers within the rotational sphere of influence of a single fiber.

We examine the effect of macromolecular crowding in DMD by inserting crowders that are purely modeled as repulsive hard sphere potentials.

And South Jersey has cause to feel even more crowded out as the northern sphere expands.
