An intermediate phase in DNA melting
Richard A. Neher, Ulrich Gerland
We predict a novel temperature-driven phase transition of DNA below the melting transition. The additional, intermediate phase exists for repetitive sequences, when the two strands…
Oscillations in molecular motor assemblies
Andrej Vilfan, Erwin Frey
Autonomous oscillations in biological systems may have a biochemical origin or result from an interplay between force-generating and visco-elastic elements. In molecular motor asse…
Intrinsic phonon decoherence and quantum gates in coupled lateral quantum dot charge qubits
Markus J. Storcz, Udo Hartmann, Sigmund Kohler +1
Recent experiments by Hayashi et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 226804 (2003)] demonstrate coherent oscillations of a charge quantum bit (qubit) in laterally defined quantum dots. We st…
Molecular states in a one-electron double quantum dot
A. K. Huettel, S. Ludwig, H. Lorenz +2
The transport spectrum of a strongly tunnel-coupled one-electron double quantum dot electrostatically defined in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure is studied. At finite source-drain-vo…
DNA as a programmable viscoelastic nanoelement
Richard A. Neher, Ulrich Gerland
The two strands of a DNA molecule with a repetitive sequence can pair into many different basepairing patterns. For perfectly periodic sequences, early bulk experiments of Poerschk…
Elastic properties of grafted microtubules
Francesco Pampaloni, Gianluca Lattanzi, Alexandr Jonáš +3
We use single-particle tracking to study the elastic properties of single microtubules grafted to a substrate. Thermal fluctuations of the free microtubule's end are recorded, in o…
