eng Abstract:
Mammalian cell nucleoli disassemble at the beginning of mitosis and reassemble again during telophase and the early G1. Dynamics of this process was studied using a model based on entropy driven self-assembly of pre-ribosomal particles generated in a single biosynthetic source. Monte Carlo simulations revealed that such model can explain formation of a large aggregate, a nucleolus, in the vicinity of the source. We examined influence of nucleoplasm properties on dynamics of the aggregate formation.
