A master equation approach to actin polymerization applied to endocytosis in yeast.

PLoS computational biology - 1 Dec 2017

Wang Xinxin, Carlsson Anders E

Abstract excerpt

We present a Master Equation approach to calculating polymerization dynamics and force generation by branched actin networks at membranes. The method treats the time evolution of the F-actin distribution in three dimensions, with branching included as a directional spreading term. It is validated by comparison with stochastic simulations of force generation by actin polymerization at obstacles coated with actin...
