Active Gaussian Network Model: a non-equilibrium description of protein fluctuations and allosteric behavior
Giulio Costantini, Lorenzo Caprini, Umberto Marini Bettolo Marconi +1
Understanding the link between structure and function in proteins is fundamental in molecular biology and proteomics. A central question in this context is whether allostery - wher…

Conceptual and practical approaches for investigating irreversible processes
Dario Lucente, Marco Baldovin, Fabio Cecconi +5
Current research in statistical mechanics mostly concerns the investigation of out-of-equilibrium, irreversible processes, which are ubiquitous in nature and still far from being t…

Response of Worm-like Chains to Traveling-Wave Active Forces
Fabio Cecconi, Dario Lucente, Andrea Puglisi +1
We present a simplified theory for semiflexible flagella under the action of a traveling-wave perturbation that emulates the organized active forces generated by molecular motors,…
