Abstract

Summary Semiflexible polymers and filaments play an important role in biological and chemical physics. The cooperative behaviour of interacting filaments and the internal bending modes of a single filament give rise to various equilibrium phase transitions, such as bundling and adsorption, which are reviewed in this article. In motility assays, filaments are adsorbed and driven by motor proteins, which are anchored to a planar two-dimensional substrate. We present a simulation model for the active filament dynamics in this non-equilibrium system.
