Computational Investigations of Cellular Functions: Three Cases on Membrane Morphogenesis, Organization and Assembly of a Multi-Protein Complex, and the Molecular Origin of Muscle Elasticity
Titin is a mechanical protein that protects muscle from overstretching by producing a restoring force when a muscle fiber is extended beyond its normal length. Force spectroscopy studies have shown that titin exhibits several regimes of elasticity. Disordered segments bring about a soft, entropic …

… of the biological membrane, assembly of a multi-protein complex, and the molecular origin of elasticity in muscle protein. In the photosynthetic purple bacterium Rhodobacter (Rba.) sphaeroides, light is absorbed by membrane-bound light-harvesting proteins LH1 and LH2. LH1 directly surrounds the …
