Primes

• Nucleation
  • Biology: actin- and microtubule-filament nucleation, amyloid-plaque nucleation, prion propagation via seeded misfolding, biofilm formation from initial adherent cells, ice-nucleating bacterial proteins.

    This sourceFoundational nucleation-elongation theory of biological polymer assembly (actin, tubulin), modeling polymerization as a nucleated condensation with a critical nucleus — the biophysics instance of nucleation.
