Thermal effects in stretching of Go-like models of titin and secondary structures
Marek Cieplak, Trinh Xuan Hoang, Mark O. Robbins
The effect of temperature on mechanical unfolding of proteins is studied using a Go-like model with a realistic contact map and Lennard-Jones contact interactions. The behavior of…
Folding and Stretching in a Go-like Model of Titin
Marek Cieplak, Trinh Xuan Hoang, Mark O. Robbins
Mechanical stretching of the I27 domain of titin and of its double and triple repeats are studied through molecular dynamics simulations of a Go-like model with Lennard-Jones conta…
Thermal Folding and Mechanical Unfolding Pathways of Protein Secondary Structures
Marek Cieplak, Trinh Xuan Hoang, Mark O. Robbins
Mechanical stretching of secondary structures is studied through molecular dynamics simulations of a Go-like model. Force vs. displacement curves are studied as a function of the s…
Simulations of the kinetic friction due to adsorbed surface layers
Gang He, Mark O. Robbins
Simulations of the kinetic friction due to a layer of adsorbed molecules between two crystalline surfaces are presented. The adsorbed layer naturally produces friction that is cons…
Computer Simulations of Friction, Lubrication and Wear
Mark O. Robbins, Martin H. Müser
An overview of computer simulations of tribology is presented. The chapter begins with a brief overview of simulation techniques and the special requirements for simulations of tri…
Jamming, Friction and Unsteady Rheology
Mark O. Robbins
The connection between friction and jamming in granular media, molecular glasses, and complex fluids is explored. The paper first reviews the way friction is measured, the types of…
