Crucial stages of protein folding through a solvable model: predicting target sites for enzyme-inhibiting drugs
Cristian Micheletti, Fabio Cecconi, Alessandro Flammini +1
An exactly solvable model based on the topology of a protein native state is applied to identify bottlenecks and key-sites for the folding of HIV-1 Protease. The predicted sites ar…
Short period attractors and non-ergodic behavior in the deterministic fixed energy sandpile model
Franco Bagnoli, Fabio Cecconi, Alessandro Flammini +1
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the Bak, Tang, Wiesenfeld sandpile automata as a closed system with fixed energy. We explore the full range of energies characterizing the acti…
Geometry of compact tubes and protein structures
J. R. Banavar, A. Flammini, D. Marenduzzo +2
Proteins form a very important class of polymers. In spite of major advances in the understanding of polymer science, the protein problem has remained largely unsolved. Here, we sh…
