This repository contains the Molecular Dynamics and Dynamic Monte Carlo implementations of the coarse-grained treadmilling filaments model presented in "Self-organization of mortal filaments and its role in bacterial division ring formation" (C. Vanhille-Campos et al., 2024, Nature Physics).
MD contains the Molecular Dynamics implementation, with all files necessary to generate and run treadmilling filaments simulations in LAMMPS. Note that a modified version of LAMMPS is required, which you can install from the same directory.
MC contains the Monte Carlo implementation. To run simulations compile and execute the code (C).
Please refer to the paper for details on the model development.
