Nanoindentation of virus capsids in a molecular model
Marek Cieplak, Mark O. Robbins
A molecular-level model is used to study the mechanical response of empty cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) and cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) capsids. The model is based on the nat…
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…
Stretching of Proteins in the Entropic Limit
Marek Cieplak, Trinh Xuan Hoang, Mark O. Robbins
Mechanical stretching of six proteins is studied through molecular dynamics simulations. The model is Go-like, with Lennard-Jones interactions at native contacts. Low temperature u…
