摘要：

It was recently noticed that in vitro motility assays, driven by random distributed dynein c, microtubules could form self-organized circular patterns, which could be of importance to the design of nanobiomechanical machines. In order to determine key parameters that control the self-organized movement of microtubules, a phenomenological modeling study taking account of the microtubule joining probability distribution and microtubule bias was conducted to investigate the self-organization of microtubules driven by dynein motors.
