Cooperative melting in double-stranded peptide chains through local mechanical interactions
Luca Bellino, Giuseppe Florio, Alain Goriely +1
Under an external field a double-stranded peptide chain can separate in a fragile or ductile transition. It is usually believed that these two regimes are driven either by chemical…

Thermal control of nucleation and propagation transition stresses in discrete lattices with non-local interactions and non-convex energy
Andrea Cannizzo, Luca Bellino, Giuseppe Florio +2
Non-local and non-convex energies represent fundamental interacting effects regulating the complex behavior of many systems in biophysics and materials science. We study one dimens…
