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…
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…
Osmotic pressure induced coupling between cooperativity and stability of a helix-coil transition
Artem Badasyan, Shushanik Tonoyan, Achille Giacometti +4
Most helix-coil transition theories can be characterized by a set of three parameters: energetic, describing the (free) energy cost of forming a helical state in one repeating unit…
Rydberg-London Potential for Diatomic Molecules and Unbonded Atom Pairs
Kevin Cahill, V. Adrian Parsegian
We propose and test a pair potential that is accurate at all relevant distances and simple enough for use in large-scale computer simulations. A combination of the Rydberg potentia…
Computational Consequences of Neglected First-Order van der Waals Forces
Kevin Cahill, V. Adrian Parsegian
We have computed the widely neglected first-order interaction between neutral atoms. At interatomic separations typical of condensed media, it is nearly equal to the 1/r^6 second-o…
