Phase Transition in a Model of Y-Shaped Molecules
D. P. Ruth, R. Toral, D. Holz +2
In recent years the statistical mechanics of non-spherical molecules, such as polypeptide chains and protein molecules, has garnered considerable attention as their phase behavior…
Encapsulation by Janus spheroids
Wei Li, Ya Liu, Genevieve Brett +1
The micro/nano encapsulation technology has acquired considerable attention in the fields of drug delivery, biomaterial engineering, and materials science. Based on recent advances…
Self Assembly of Janus Ellipsoids
Ya Liu, Wei Li, Toni Perez +2
We propose a primitive model of Janus ellipsoids that represent particles with an ellipsoidal core and two semi-surfaces coded with dissimilar properties, for example, hydrophobici…
Kinetics of microribbon formation in a simplified model of amelogenin biomacromolecules
Wei Li, Ya Liu, Toni Perez +3
We show that the kinetics of microribbon formation of amelogenin molecules is well described by a combination of translational and rotational diffusion of a simplified anisotropic…
Some topics in the kinetics of protein aggregation
J. D. Gunton, Wei Li, Ya Liu +3
Preliminary results are presented for the kinetics of phase separation in three distinct models of protein aggregation. The first is a model of the formation of spherical microcrys…
The constructive role of diversity on the global response of coupled neuron systems
T. Perez, C. R. Mirasso, R. Toral +1
We study the effect that the heterogeneity present among the elements of an ensemble of coupled excitable neurons have on the collective response of the system to an external signa…
