This lecture focuses on the concept of bend energy required to curve a filament of length L into a circular arc of radius R. We explore the fundamental principles governing the mechanics of bending and the associated energy costs. Utilizing a virtual lab, we can visualize the effects of bending on filament structures, including their persistence lengths, especially in the context of interactions with viruses and actin microtubules. Join us to grasp the intricate dynamics at play in biological and synthetic filament systems.
