Long-range energy transfer in proteins
Francesco Piazza, Yves-Henri Sanejouand
Proteins are large and complex molecular machines. In order to perform their function, most of them need energy, e.g. either in the form of a photon, like in the case of the visual…
Vibrational entropy and the structural organization of proteins
Lorenzo Bongini, Francesco Piazza, Lapo Casetti +1
In this paper we analyze the vibrational spectra of a large ensemble of non-homologous protein structures by means of a novel tool, that we coin the Hierarchical Network Model (HNM…
Discrete breathers in protein structures
Francesco Piazza, Yves-Henri Sanejouand
Recently, using a numerical surface cooling approach, we have shown that highly energetic discrete breathers (DB) can form in the stiffest parts of nonlinear network models of larg…
