Exploring the energy landscape of model proteins: a metric criterion for the determination of dynamical connectivity
Lorenzo Bongini, Roberto Livi, Antonio Politi +1
A method to reconstruct the energy landscape of small peptides is presented with reference to a 2d off--lattice model. The starting point is a statistical analysis of the configura…
Breakdown of metastable step-flow growth on vicinal surfaces induced by nucleation
Daniele Vilone, Claudio Castellano, Paolo Politi
We consider the growth of a vicinal crystal surface in the presence of a step-edge barrier. For any value of the barrier strength, measured by the length l_es, nucleation of island…
Reading entanglement in terms of spin configurations in quantum magnets
Andrea Fubini, Tommaso Roscilde, Valerio Tognetti +2
We consider a quantum many-body system made of interacting spins on a lattice, and develop a formalism which allows to extract, out of conventional magnetic observabl…
Stable Solution of the Simplest Spin Model for Inverse Freezing
Andrea Crisanti, Luca Leuzzi
We analyze the Blume-Emery-Griffiths model with disordered magnetic interaction that displays the inverse freezing phenomenon. The behavior of this spin-1 model in crystal field is…
Dynamical behavior across the Mott transition of two bands with different bandwidths
Michel Ferrero, Federico Becca, Michele Fabrizio +1
We investigate the role of the bandwidth difference in the Mott metal-insulator transition of a two-band Hubbard model in the limit of infinite dimensions, by means of a Gutzwiller…
Functional Dynamics of PDZ Binding Domains: A Normal Mode Analysis
Paolo De Los Rios, Fabio Cecconi, Anna Pretre +4
PDZ (Post-synaptic density-95/discs large/zonula occludens-1) domains are relatively small (80 to 120 residues) protein binding modules central in the organization of receptor clus…
