Reaction-Coordinate-Dependent Non-Markovian Friction Governs Protein-Folding Dynamics

Lucas Tepper, Benjamin J. A. Héry, Cihan Ayaz +4

It is common to project the full atomic-resolution representation of a protein onto a one-dimensionalreaction coordinate (RC) to capture the protein-folding kinetics. As a direct c…

Hierarchical friction memory leads to subdiffusive configurational dynamics of fast-folding proteins

Anton Klimek, Benjamin A. Dalton, Lucas Tepper +1

Proteins often exhibit subdiffusive configurational dynamics. The origins of this subdiffusion are still unresolved. We investigate the impact of non-Markovian friction and the fre…

The influence of multi-dimensionality and off-diagonal non-Markovian friction coupling on coarse-grained dynamics

Henrik Kiefer, Cihan Ayaz, Benjamin A. Dalton +1

Coarse-graining complex molecular systems to lower-dimensional reaction coordinates is a powerful approach for capturing their effective dynamics. The generalized Langevin equation…

Subdiffusion from competition between multi-exponential friction memory and energy barriers

Anton Klimek, Benjamin A. Dalton, Roland R. Netz

Subdiffusion is a hallmark of complex systems, ranging from protein folding to transport in viscoelastic media. However, despite its pervasiveness, the mechanistic origins of subdi…

Analysis and Simulation of Generalized Langevin Equations with Non-Gaussian Orthogonal Forces

Henrik Kiefer, Benjamin J. A. Héry, Lucas Tepper +3

The generalized Langevin equation (GLE) is a useful framework for analyzing and modeling the dynamics of many-body systems in terms of low-dimensional reaction coordinates, with it…

Non-Markovianity increases transition path probability

Florian N. Brünig, Benjamin A. Dalton, Jan O. Daldrop +1

Defining low-dimensional reaction coordinates is crucial for analyzing the dynamics of complex systems and for comparison with experiments. The maximal value of the transition-path…
