Pattern formation and the mechanics of a motor-driven filamentous system confined by rigid membranes

Pattern formation and the mechanics of a mixture of actin filaments and myosin motors that is confined by a rigid membrane is investigated. By using a coarse-grained molecular dynamics model, we demonstrate that the competition between the depletion force and the active force of the motors gives ris...
