The connections between these filaments are provided by a very important mechanical element of the network: cross-linking proteins, which, due to their dynamic nature, allow remodeling in response to external cues. The reversible nature of crosslink bind- ing/unbinding is an important mechanism that underlies these dynamical processes. Here, we develop a simple theoretical model to come close to what recent studies aim to do: study the dynamics of these molecular motors introducing some exible conditions into the considered network, a first approach in this field.5 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Bosch Vidal, 2015http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/BiopolímersPropietats mecàniquesTreballs de fi de grauBiopolymersMechanical propertiesBachelor's thesesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
