Theory of force-extension curve for modular proteins and DNA hairpins
L. L. Bonilla, A. Carpio, A. Prados
We study a model describing the force-extension curves of modular proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules made out of several single units or modules. At a mesoscopic level…
Protein unfolding and refolding as transitions through virtual states
L. L. Bonilla, A. Carpio, A. Prados
Single-molecule atomic force spectroscopy probes elastic properties of titin, ubiquitin and other relevant proteins. We explain bioprotein folding dynamics under both length- and f…
Memory effect in uniformly heated granular gases
E. Trizac, A. Prados
We evidence a Kovacs-like memory effect in a uniformly driven granular gas. A system of inelastic hard particles, in the low density limit, can reach a non-equilibrium steady state…
Kovacs-like memory effect in driven granular gases
A. Prados, E. Trizac
While memory effects have been reported for dense enough disordered systems such as glasses, we show here by a combination of analytical and simulation techniques that they are als…
The Kovacs effect in the one-dimensional Ising model: a linear response analysis
M. Ruiz-García, A. Prados
We analyze the so-called Kovacs effect in the one-dimensional Ising model with Glauber dynamics. We consider small enough temperature jumps, for which a linear response theory has…
