Reconstructing the free energy landscape of a polyprotein by single-molecule experiments
A. Imparato, F. Sbrana, M. Vassalli
The mechanical unfolding of an engineered protein composed of eight domains of Ig27 is investigated by using atomic force microscopy. Exploiting a fluctuation relation, the equilib…
Mechanical unfolding and refolding pathways of ubiquitin
A. Imparato, A. Pelizzola
Mechanical unfolding and refolding of ubiquitin are studied by Monte Carlo simulations of a Go model with binary variables. The exponential dependence of the time constants on the…
Protein mechanical unfolding: a model with binary variables
A. Imparato, A. Pelizzola, M. Zamparo
A simple lattice model, recently introduced as a generalization of the Wako--Saitô model of protein folding, is used to investigate the properties of widely studied molecules under…
Long time behavior of non-autonomous Fokker-Planck equations and the cooling of granular gases
Bertrand Lods, Giuseppe Toscani
We analyze the asymptotic behavior of linear Fokker-Planck equations with time-dependent coefficients. Relaxation towards a Maxwellian distribution with time-dependent temperature…
Two-dimensional lattice-fluid model with water-like anomalies
C. Buzano, E. de Stefanis, A. Pelizzola +1
We investigate a lattice-fluid model defined on a two-dimensional triangular lattice, with the aim of reproducing qualitatively some anomalous properties of water. Model molecules…
Strong-coupling expansions for the topologically inhomogeneous Bose-Hubbard model
P. Buonsante, V. Penna, A. Vezzani
We consider a Bose-Hubbard model with an arbitrary hopping term and provide the boundary of the insulating phase thereof in terms of third-order strong coupling perturbative expans…
