# Function (Force & Motion)

1. Cell structure elements:
   - Membranes
     - Lipids and self-assembly
     - Canham-Helfrich bending energy
     - Red blood cells, flicker and shapes
     - Transport in and out of cells
   - Filaments in the cycloskeleton
     - Actin, intermediate, microtubules
     - Dynamic Instability
     - Threadmilling
2. Molecular motors:
   - Kinesin, dyenin, myosin, simulations
   - Brownian ratchet models
   - Asymmetric hopping models
3. Cell motility:
   - Brownian motion
   - Swimming cells
     - Life at Low Reynolds Number (E.M. Purcell)
   - Crawling cells
     - Propulsion by actin polymerization
