Recognition of the natural abundance and functional importance of intrinsically disordered
proteins (IDPs), and protein hybrids that contain both intrinsically disordered protein regions …

Research of a past decade and a half leaves no doubt that complete understanding of
protein functionality requires close consideration of the fact that many functional proteins do …

Molecular self-organziation, also regarded as pattern formation, is crucial for the correct
distribution of cellular content. The processes leading to spatiotemporal patterns often …

In E. coli, MinD recruits MinE to the membrane, leading to a coupled oscillation required for
spatial regulation of the cytokinetic Z ring. How these proteins interact, however, is not clear …

Min-protein oscillations in Escherichia coli are characterized by the remarkable robustness
with which spatial patterns dynamically adapt to variations of cell geometry. Moreover …

The Escherichia coli Min system self-organizes into a cell-pole to cell-pole oscillator on the
membrane to prevent divisions at the cell poles. Reconstituting the Min system on a lipid …

One of the most fundamental features of biological systems is probably their ability to self-
organize in space and time on different scales. Despite many elaborate theoretical models …

Protein patterning is vital for many fundamental cellular processes. This raises two intriguing
questions: Can such intrinsically complex processes be reduced to certain core principles …

The three Min proteins spatially regulate Z ring positioning in Escherichia coli and are
dynamically associated with the membrane. MinD binds to vesicles in the presence of ATP …

In the rod-shaped bacterium Escherichia coli, selection of the cell centre as the division site
involves pole-to-pole oscillations of the proteins MinC, MinD and MinE. This spatio-temporal …
