This dynamic pattern has been proposed to arise by self-organization of these proteins, and several models have suggested a reaction-diffusion type mechanism. Here, we found that the Min proteins spontaneously formed planar surface waves on a flat membrane in vitro. The formation and maintenance of these patterns, which extended for hundreds of micrometers, required adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP), and they persisted for hours. We present a reaction-diffusion model of the MinD and MinE dynamics that accounts for our experimental observations and also captures the in vivo oscillations."}],"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:55:02Z","status":"public","day":"09","year":"2008","date_published":"2008-05-09T00:00:00Z","quality_controlled":0,"doi":"10.1126/science.1154413","_id":"1982","title":"Spatial regulators for bacterial cell division self-organize into surface waves in vitro","issue":"5877","month":"05","citation":{"mla":"Loose, Martin, et al. “Spatial Regulators for Bacterial Cell Division Self-Organize into Surface Waves in Vitro.” <i>Science</i>, vol. 320, no. 5877, American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2008, pp. 789–92, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1154413\">10.1126/science.1154413</a>.","chicago":"Loose, Martin, Elisabeth Fischer Friedrich, Jonas Ries, Karsten Kruse, and Petra Schwille. “Spatial Regulators for Bacterial Cell Division Self-Organize into Surface Waves in Vitro.” <i>Science</i>.
