A lattice boltzmann method for modeling the dynamic pole-to-pole oscillations of min proteins for determining the position of the midcell division plane
Determining the middle of the bacteria cell and the proper placement of the septum is essential to the division of the bacterial cell. In E. coli, this process depends on the proteins MinC, MinD, and MinE. Here, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is used to study the dynamics of the oscillations of...
