A link is shown between reaction-diffusion kinetics for microtubuleassembly and time-dependent Landau-Ginzburg phenomenology. In the latter,microtubule assembly is treated as a first-order phase transition using apostulated Landau-Ginzburg free energy expansion. The results establish aconnection between the oscillations observed in experiment and the phasediagram for microtubule assembly. The model also predicts a specific heatbehavior which could be verified experimentally.
微管组装的反应扩散动力学与时间相关的朗道-金兹堡现象学之间存在一种联系。在后者中,微管组装被视为使用假定的朗道-金兹堡自由能展开的一级相变。结果建立了实验中观察到的振荡与微管组装相图之间的联系。该模型还预测了一种比热行为,可通过实验进行验证。
