A simple method for modeling amyloid kinetics featuring position biased fiber breakage

Abstract: Significance: 'A simple method for modeling amyloid kinetics featuring position biased fiber breakage' A kinetic model of amyloid formation is presented based on two inter-related ordinary differential equations. The model can simply account for different rates of breakage at the fiber ends vs. internal regions. In the former case, breakage releases a monomer unable to maintain its amyloid structure. In the latter case, breakage produces two smaller fibers each able to act as 'seeds' able to facilitate amyloid… Show more

“…The kinetic models implemented in MIL-CELL are cast in terms of experimentally observed mechanisms previously demonstrated to have relevance to biology (e.g. variable internal versus endwise amyloid breakage relationships [Hall, 2020] , various nucleation and growth relationships [Nowak et al 1999; Pallitto and Murphy, 2001; Hall and Edskes, 2004, 2009, 2012; Hall and Hirota, 2009; Hirota et al 2019] and various higher order (end-to-end or lateral joining) amyloid association [Zhao et al 2016] . Another important and distinctive feature of the current work is the specifiable component partition rate between mother and daughter cells during cell division (Eqn.…”

“…To simulate preferential endwise depolymerization of amyloid filaments (the so called endwise dissolution or ‘munching’ case postulated by Zhao et al 2018) a previously developed mathematical model, able to account for position dependent differences in fiber fracture rate i.e. b G ≠ b A1 , was utilized [ Hall, 2020 ]. Limited to the consideration of single filament growth this model is capable of describing the time dependence of monomer formation ( Eqn.…”

“…My research work there involved investigating amyloid formation in yeast with the goal of both modelling this process computationally and solving the three-dimensional structure of the amyloid prion via cryo-electron microscopy. My work situation at the NIH was scientifically ideal (resulting in a few high-quality publications (Hall 2020a , b ) and another edited special Issue (Hall et al 2020 ). My position also allowed me sufficient time and space to engage with my newfound appointment as Chief Editor of the Biophysical Reviews journal which occurred in 2019.…”
