Solvent Effects in the Helix-Coil Transition Model can explain the Unusual Biophysics of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
Artem Badasyan, Yevgeni Sh. Mamasakhlisov, Rudolf Podgornik +1
We analyze a model statistical description of the polypeptide chain helix-coil transition, where we take into account the specificity of its primary sequence, as quantified by the…
Fluctuation mediated interactions due to rigidity mismatch and their effect on miscibility of lipid mixtures in multicomponent membranes
David S. Dean, V. Adrian Parsegian, R. Podgornik
We consider how membrane fluctuations can modify the miscibility of lipid mixtures, that is to say how the phase diagram of a boundary-constrained membrane is modified when the mem…
A unified description of solvent effects in the helix-coil transition
Artem Badasyan, Shushanik A. Tonoyan, Achille Giacometti +4
We analyze the problem of the helix-coil transition in explicit solvents analytically by using spin-based models incorporating two different mechanisms of solvent action: explicit…
On the fluctuation of thermal van der Waals forces due to dipole fluctuations
D. S. Dean, V. A. Parsegian, R. Podgornik
Fluctuations of the thermal or classical component of the van der Waals force between two dielectric slabs, modelled as an ensemble of polarizable dipoles which interact via the us…
Chirality-Dependent Properties of Carbon Nanotubes. Electronic Structure: Optical Dispersion Properties, Hamaker Coefficients and van der Waals - London dispersion interactions
Rick F. Rajter, Roger H. French, W. Y. Ching +2
Optical dispersion spectra at energies up to 30 eV play a vital role in understanding the chirality-dependent van der Waals London dispersion interactions of single wall carbon nan…
Polymers pushing Polymers: Polymer Mixtures in Thermodynamic Equilibrium with a Pore
Rudolf Podgornik, Jaime Hopkins, V. Adrian Parsegian +1
We investigate polymer partitioning from polymer mixtures into nanometer size cavities by formulating an equation of state for a binary polymer mixture assuming that only one (smal…
