Chiral twisting in a bacterial cytoskeletal polymer affects filament size and orientation
The actin homolog MreB directs cell-wall insertion and maintains cell shape in many rod-shaped bacteria. Here, Shi et al. perform molecular dynamics simulations for MreB to extract mechanical parameters for inputs into a coarse-grained biophysical polymer model that predicts MreB filament properties...
