Randomized trial explores conformational propagation in microtubule systems, indicating different dynamics than tissue networks.
Key Points
This research aims to explore the dynamics of conformational propagation and phase boundary collapse in microtubules using a new computational model.
Developed a one-dimensional lattice model using αβ-tubulin dimers and classical dynamics.
Analyzed the logistic phase transitions between coherent and fragmented states.
Tested the model against previously established tissue coherence indices.
Demonstrated a sharp logistic transition between coherent and fragmented propagation (no specific rates provided).
Found significant divergence in critical thresholds from tissue-level behavior, indicating distinct dynamical regimes.
Identified negative results that show previous models do not align with observed thresholds, highlighting differences in dynamical universality classes.
