The fusion (F) protein of parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5) is a
membrane-bound, homotrimeric glycoprotein located on the surface of PIV5
viral envelopes. Upon being triggered by the receptor-binding protein
(HN), F undergoes a greater than 100å ATP-independent refolding
event. This refolding event results in the insertion of a hydrophobic
fusion peptid...
We derive the distribution of particle currents for a system of interacting active Brownian particles in the long-time limit using large deviation theory and a weighted many-body expansion. We find the distribution is non-Gaussian, except in the limit of passive particles. The non-Gaussian fluctuations can be understood from the effective potential...
In exponentially proliferating populations of microbes, the population doubles at a rate less than the average doubling time of a single-cell due to variability at the single-cell level. It is known that the distribution of generation times obtained from a single lineage is, in general, insufficient to determine a population’s growth rate. Is there...
We derive a general lower bound on distributions of entropy production in interacting active matter systems. The bound is tight in the limit that interparticle correlations are small and short-ranged, which we explore in four canonical active matter models. In all models studied, the bound is weak where collective fluctuations result in long-ranged...
Motility-induced phase separation (MIPS), the phenomenon in which purely repulsive active particles undergo a liquid-gas phase separation, is among the simplest and most widely studied examples of a nonequilibrium phase transition. Here, we show that states of MIPS coexistence are in fact only metastable for three dimensional active Brownian partic...
Biomolecular condensates are membraneless organelles formed via phase separation of macromolecules, typically consisting of bond-forming “stickers” connected by flexible “linkers.” Linkers have diverse roles, such as occupying space and facilitating interactions. To understand how linker length relative to other lengths affects condensation, we foc...
In complex ecosystems such as microbial communities, there is constant ecological and evolutionary feedback between the residing species and the environment occurring on concurrent timescales. Species respond and adapt to their surroundings by modifying their phenotypic traits, which in turn alters their environment and the resources available. To...

In striking contrast to equilibrium systems, inertia can profoundly alter the structure of active systems. Here, we demonstrate that driven systems can exhibit effective equilibrium-like states with increasing particle inertia, despite rigorously violating the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Increasing inertia progressively eliminates motility-ind...
While most studies of biomolecular phase separation have focused on the condensed phase, relatively little is known about the dilute phase. Theory suggests that stable complexes form in the dilute phase of two-component phase-separating systems, impacting phase separation; however, these complexes have not been interrogated experimentally. We show...
LAT is a membrane-linked scaffold protein that undergoes a phase transition to form a two-dimensional protein condensate on the membrane during T cell activation. Governed by tyrosine phosphorylation, LAT recruits various proteins that ultimately enable condensation through a percolation network of discrete and selective protein-protein interaction...

In striking contrast to equilibrium systems, inertia can profoundly alter the structure of active systems. Here, we demonstrate that driven systems can exhibit effective equilibrium statistics with increasing particle inertia, despite rigorously violating the fluctuation-dissipation theorem.

The results of a small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) study of equine
cytochrome-c protein under different unfolding conditions are discussed.
Although the measured radius of gyration of this protein over a wide
range of temperatures and GuHCl concentrations conform to a two-state
model, we find different levels of residual structure present dependi...
