Grand canonical Brownian dynamics simulations of adsorption and self-assembly of SAS-6 rings on a surface

Pierre Gönczy, Niccolo Banterle

The Spindle Assembly Abnormal Protein 6 (SAS-6) forms dimers, which then self-assemble into rings that are critical for the nine-fold symmetry of the centriole organelle. It has recently been shown experimentally that the self-assembly of SAS-6 rings is st ...
