An actin filament is an essential cytoskeleton protein in a cell. Various proteins bind to actin for cell functions such as migration, division, and shape control. ADF/cofilin is a protein that severs actin filaments and is related to their dynamics. Actin is known to have excellent mechanical properties. Binding cofilin reduces its mechanical properties, and is related to the severing process. In this research, we applied a coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation (CGMD) method to obtain actin filaments and cofilin-bound actin (cofilactin) filaments. Using these two obtained models, we constructed an elastic network model-based structure and conducted a normal mode analysis. Based on the low-frequency normal modes of the filament structure, we applied the continuum beam theory to calculate the mechanical properties of the actin and cofilactin filaments. The CGMD method provided structurally accurate actin and cofilactin filaments in relation to the mechanical properties, which showed good agreement with the established experimental results.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
