    "abstract": "During division it is of primary importance for a cell to correctly determine\nthe site of cleavage. The bacterium Escherichia coli divides in the center,\nproducing two daughter cells of equal size. Selection of the center as the\ncorrect division site is in part achieved by the Min-proteins. They oscillate\nbetween the two cell poles and thereby prevent division at these locations.\nHere, a phenomenological description for these oscillations is presented, where\nlateral interactions between proteins on the cell membrane play a key role.\nSolutions to the dynamic equations are compared to experimental findings. In\nparticular, the temporal period of the oscillations is measured as a function\nof the cell length and found to be compatible with the theoretical prediction.",
