Effect of hydrogen bonds on protein stability
Valentino Bianco, Svilen Iskrov, Giancarlo Franzese
The mechanism of cold- and pressure-denaturation are matter of debate. Some models propose that when denaturation occurs more hydrogen bonds between the molecules of hydration wate…
Water at interface with proteins
Giancarlo Franzese, Valentino Bianco, Svilen Iskrov
Water is essential for the activity of proteins. However, the effect of the properties of water on the behavior of proteins is only partially understood. Recently, several experime…
Large decrease of fluctuations for supercooled water in hydrophobic nanoconfinement
Elena G. Strekalova, Marco G. Mazza, H. Eugene Stanley +1
We study by Monte Carlo simulations a coarse-grained model of a water layer confined in a fixed disordered matrix of hydrophobic nanoparticles at different particle concentrations…
Isotropic soft-core potentials with two characteristic length scales and anomalous behaviour
Pol Vilaseca, Giancarlo Franzese
Isotropic soft-core potentials with two characteristic length scales have been used since 40 years to describe systems with polymorphism. In the recent years intense research is sh…
Softness dependence of the Anomalies for the Continuous Shouldered Well potential
Pol Vilaseca, Giancarlo Franzese
By molecular dynamic simulations we study a system of particles interacting through a continuous isotropic pairwise core-softened potential consisting of a repulsive shoulder and a…
