Towards Quantitative Classification of Folded Proteins in Terms of Elementary Functions
Shuangwei Hu, Andrei Krokhotin, Antti J. Niemi +1
A comparative classification scheme provides a good basis for several approaches to understand proteins, including prediction of relations between their structure and biological fu…
On Solutions to the "Faddeev-Niemi" Equations
Antti J. Niemi, Andrzej Wereszczynski
Recently it has been pointed out that the "Faddeev-Niemi" equations that correspond to the Yang-Mills equations of motion for a decomposed gauge field, can have solutions that obey…
Discrete Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation, Solitons and Organizing Principles for Protein Folding
Nora Molkenthin, Shuangwei Hu, Antti J. Niemi
We introduce a novel generalization of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation. It supports solitons that describe how proteins fold. As an example we scrutinize the villin hea…
Elastic Energy and Phase Structure in a Continuous Spin Ising Chain with Applications to the Protein Folding Problem
M. N. Chernodub, Martin Lundgren, Antti J. Niemi
We present a numerical Monte Carlo analysis of a continuos spin Ising chain that can describe the statistical proterties of folded proteins. We find that depending on the value of…
On Relations Between Electroweak Hierarchy Problem, Fluctuating Three Branes And General Covariance
Antti J. Niemi, Sergey Slizovskiy
We inquire whether a resolution to the electroweak hierarchy problem could reside in symmetries that relate the bosonic Weinberg-Salam Lagrangian with a higher dimensional generall…
Topological Solitons and Folded Proteins
M. N. Chernodub, Shuangwei Hu, Antti J. Niemi
We propose that protein loops can be interpreted as topological domain-wall solitons. They interpolate between ground states that are the secondary structures like alpha-helices an…
