Cooperative melting in double-stranded peptide chains through local mechanical interactions
Luca Bellino, Giuseppe Florio, Alain Goriely +1
Under an external field a double-stranded peptide chain can separate in a fragile or ductile transition. It is usually believed that these two regimes are driven either by chemical…
Temperature and rate effects in damage and decohesion of biological materials
Luca Bellino
The incredible thermo-mechanical properties of biological materials arise from the microscopic scale due to a complex hierarchical mechanism, regulated by microinstabilities at the…
Thermal control of nucleation and propagation transition stresses in discrete lattices with non-local interactions and non-convex energy
Andrea Cannizzo, Luca Bellino, Giuseppe Florio +2
Non-local and non-convex energies represent fundamental interacting effects regulating the complex behavior of many systems in biophysics and materials science. We study one dimens…
On the influence of device handle in single-molecule experiments
L. Bellino, G. Florio, G. Puglisi
We deduce a fully analytical model to predict the artifacts of the measuring device handles in Single Molecule Force Spectroscopy experiments. As we show, neglecting the effects of…
