A percolation model for slow dynamics in glass-forming materials
Gregg Lois, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz, Corey S. O'Hern
We identify a link between the glass transition and percolation of mobile regions in configuration space. We find that many hallmarks of glassy dynamics, for example stretched-expo…
Non-random coil behavior as a consequence of extensive PPII structure in the denatured state
Aitziber L. Cortajarena, Gregg Lois, Eilon Sherman +3
Unfolded proteins may contain native or non-native residual structure, which has important implications for the thermodynamics and kinetics of folding as well as for misfolding and…
Comparison of low amplitude oscillatory shear in experimental and computational studies of model foams
Micah Lundberg, Kapilanjan Krishan, Ning Xu +2
A fundamental difference between fluids and solids is their response to applied shear. Solids possess static shear moduli, while fluids do not. Complex fluids such as foams display…
A minimal model for kinetic arrest
Prasanta Pal, Corey S. O'Hern, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz +1
To elucidate slow dynamics in glassy materials, we introduce the {\it Figure-8 model} in which hard blocks undergo Brownian motion around a circuit in the shape of a figure-8.…
Reliable protein folding on non-funneled energy landscapes: the free energy reaction path
Gregg Lois, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz, Corey S. O'Hern
A theoretical framework is developed to study the dynamics of protein folding. The key insight is that the search for the native protein conformation is influenced by the rate r at…
The jamming transition and new percolation universality classes in particulate systems with attraction
Gregg Lois, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz, Corey S. O'Hern
We numerically study the jamming transition in particulate systems with attraction by investigating their mechanical response at zero temperature. We find three regimes of mechanic…
