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…

Non-Markovian non-equilibrium modeling of experimental cell-motion trajectories reveals dependence of propulsion-force correlations on solvent viscosity

Anton Klimek, Prince V. Baruah, Prerna Sharma +1

Cell motility underlies many biological processes, including cancer metastasis, bacterial infection, and evolutionary adaptation. We introduce a non-equilibrium single-cell motilit…

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…

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…

Memory and Friction: From the Nanoscale to the Macroscale

Benjamin A. Dalton, Anton Klimek, Henrik Kiefer +5

Friction is a phenomenon that manifests across all spatial and temporal scales, from the molecular to the macroscopic scale. It describes the dissipation of energy from the motion…

Intrinsic cell-to-cell variance from experimental single-cell motility data

Anton Klimek, Johannes C. J. Heyn, Debasmita Mondal +5

When analyzing the individual positional dynamics of an ensemble of moving objects, the extracted parameters that characterize the motion of individual objects, such as the mean-sq…
