Formulating Membrane Dynamics with the Reaction of Surface Objects
説明
Membranes form important structures in living systems. In this paper, we propose a new formulation of membrane dynamics as an extension to our artificial chemistry. It does not explicitly specify membranes to react; instead, the surface objects of membranes decide which membranes transform and how. We model the clathrin-coated vesicular transport by the formalism, and thereby show the compatibility of our approach with natural membrane systems.
