Chemotaxis in vitro. Quantitation of human granulocyte movement using a stochastic differential equation.

Abstract:

:The quantitation of human granulocyte movement using a stochastic differential equation is described. The method has the potential to distinguish both positive and negative chemotaxis. Analysis and information concerning cell movements can be obtained for any point in time and distance for the duration of the experiment.

  • Monte Carlo simulations of proteins in cages: influence of confinement on the stability of intermediate states.

    abstract::We study the folding of small proteins inside confining potentials. Proteins are described using an effective potential model that contains the Ramachandran angles as degrees of freedom and does not need any a priori information about the native state. Hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole-, and hydrophobic interactions are t...
