Specific protein-protein binding in many-component mixtures of proteins

Richard P. Sear

Proteins must bind to specific other proteins in vivo in order to function. The proteins must bind only to one or a few other proteins of the of order a thousand proteins typically…

Instabilities in complex mixtures with a large number of components

Richard P. Sear, Jose A. Cuesta

Inside living cells are complex mixtures of thousands of components. It is hopeless to try to characterise all the individual interactions in these mixtures. Thus, we develop a sta…

Phase equilibria in the polydisperse Zwanzig model of hard rods

Nigel Clarke, Jose A Cuesta, Richard Sear +2

We study the phase behaviour of the Zwanzig model of suspensions of hard rods, allowing for polydispersity in the lengths of the rods. In spite of the simplified nature of the mode…

Metastability and nucleation in the dilute fluid phase of a simple model of globular proteins

Richard P. Sear

The dilute fluid phase of model globular proteins is studied. The model possesses a fluid-fluid transition buried within the fluid-crystal coexistence region, as do some globular p…

The stability limit of polydisperse sticky hard spheres

Richard P. Sear

It has been shown by Stell [J. Stat. Phys. 63, 1203 (1991)] that at low temperature monodisperse sticky spheres collapse to form coexisting close-packed solid and infinitely dilute…
