Soliton driven relaxation dynamics and universality in protein collapse
Andrey Krokhotin, Martin Lundgren, Antti J. Niemi
Protein collapse can be viewed as a dynamical phase transition, during which new scales and collective variables become excited while the old ones recede and fade away. This causes…
The protein dynamical transition is a pseudogap changeover
Andrey Krokhotin, Antti J. Niemi
The emergence of biochemical activities in a protein seem to commence with the onset of atomic mean-square displacements along the protein lattice. The ensuing protein dynamical tr…
Soliton concepts and the protein structure
Andrei Krokhotin, Antti J. Niemi, Xubiao Peng
Structural classification shows that the number of different protein folds is surprisingly small. It also appears that proteins are built in a modular fashion, from a relatively sm…
Protein Regge Trajectories, Phase Coexistence and Physics of Alzheimer's Disease
Andrei Krokhotin, Antti J. Niemi
Alzheimer's disease causes severe neurodegeneration in the brain that leads to a certain death. The defining factor is the formation of extracellular senile amyloid plaques in the…
Covalent bond symmetry breaking and protein secondary structure
Martin Lundgren, Antti J. Niemi
Both symmetry and organized breaking of symmetry have a pivotal rôle in our understanding of structure and pattern formation in physical systems, including the origin of mass in th…
On universal aspects of the left-handed helix region
Martin Lundgren, Antti J. Niemi, Fan Sha
We inspect the geometry of proteins by identifying their backbones as framed polygons. We find that the left-handed helix region of the Ramachandran map for non-glycyl residues cor…
