W-potentials in nonlinear biophysics of microtubules

Soft Condensed Matter 2023-01-23 v1

Abstract

In the present article we investigate the nonlinear dynamics of microtubules, the basic components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton, and rely on the known general model. A crucial interaction among constitutive particles is modelled using W-potential. Three kinds of this potential are studied, symmetrical and two non-symmetrical. We demonstrate an advantage of the latter ones.
