DNA Calorimetric Force Spectroscopy at Single Base Pair Resolution
Paolo Rissone, Marc Rico-Pasto, Steve Smith +1
DNA hybridization is a fundamental reaction with wide-ranging applications in biotechnology. The nearest-neighbor (NN) model provides the most reliable description of the energetic…
Detecting molecular folding from noise measurements
Marc Rico, Felix Ritort
Detecting conformational transitions in molecular systems is key to understanding biological processes. Here, we investigate the force variance in single-molecule pulling experimen…
Experimental test of Sinai's model in DNA unzipping
Cathelijne ter Burg, Paolo Rissone, Marc Rico-Pasto +2
The experimental measurement of correlation functions and critical exponents in disordered systems is key to testing renormalization group (RG) predictions. We mechanically unzip s…
Molten globule-like transition state of protein barnase measured with calorimetric force spectroscopy
Marc Rico-Pasto, Annamaria Zaltron, Sebastian J. Davies +2
Understanding how proteins fold into their native structure is a fundamental problem in biophysics, crucial for protein design. It has been hypothesized that the formation of a mol…
Force-Dependent Folding Kinetics of Single Molecules with Multiple Intermediates and Pathways
Marc Rico-Pasto, Anna Alemany, Felix Ritort
Most single-molecule studies derive the kinetic rates of native, intermediate, and unfolded states from equilibrium hopping experiments. Here, we apply Kramers kinetic diffusive mo…
Force Dependence of Proteins' Transition State Position and the Bell-Evans Model
M. Rico-Pasto, A. Zaltron, F. Ritort
Single-molecule force spectroscopy has opened a new field of research in molecular biophysics and biochemistry. Pulling experiments on individual proteins permit us to monitor conf…
Dissipation reduction and information-to-measurement conversion in DNA pulling experiments with feedback protocols
Marc Rico-Pasto, Regina K. Schmitt, Marco Ribezzi-Crivellari +4
Information-to-energy conversion with feedback measurement stands as one of the most intriguing aspects of the thermodynamics of information in the nanoscale. To date, experiments…
Information-to-work conversion in single molecule experiments: from discrete to continuous feedback
Regina K. Schmitt, Patrick P. Potts, Heiner Linke +4
We theoretically investigate the extractable work in single molecule unfolding-folding experiments with applied feedback. Using a simple two-state model, we obtain a description of…
Force Feedback Effects on Single Molecule Hopping and Pulling Experiments
Marc Rico-Pasto, Isabel Pastor, Felix Ritort
Single-molecule experiments with optical tweezers have become an important tool to study the properties and mechanisms of biological systems, such as cells and nucleic acids. In pa…
