Chemophoresis as a driving force for intracellular organization: Theory and application to plasmid partitioning

Biological units such as macromolecules, organelles, and cells are directed to a proper location by gradients of chemicals. We consider a macroscopic element with surface binding sites where chemical adsorption reactions can occur and show that a thermodynamic force generated by chemical gradients a...
