TL;DR
This paper introduces a local, link-preserving method to define and analyze the writhe of self-avoiding loops, aiding the study of actin dynamics by simplifying the traditional non-local approach.
Contribution
It proposes a local, integer-differing definition of writhe and a set of local dynamics to better understand actin behavior.
Findings
Local writhe definition differs from traditional by an integer
Set of local, link-preserving dynamics proposed
Potential insights into actin dynamics gained
Abstract
We present an alternative local definition of the writhe of a self-avoiding closed loop which differs from the traditional non-local definition by an integer. When studying dynamics this difference is immaterial. We employ a formula due to Aldinger, Klapper and Tabor for the change in writhe and propose a set of local, link preserving dynamics in an attempt to unravel some puzzles about actin.
