Force Dependent Hopping Rates of RNA Hairpins can be Estimated from Accurate Measurement of the Folding Landscapes
Changbong Hyeon, Greg Morrison, D. Thirumalai
The sequence-dependent folding landscapes of nucleic acid hairpins reflect much of the complexity of biomolecular folding. Folding trajectories, generated using single molecule for…
Mechanical control of the directional stepping dynamics of the kinesin motor
Changbong Hyeon, José N. Onuchic
Among the multiple steps constituting the kinesin's mechanochemical cycle, one of the most interesting events is observed when kinesins move an 8-nm step from one microtubule (MT)-…
Kinetics of Loop Formation in Polymer Chains
Ngo Minh Toan, Greg Morrison, Changbong Hyeon +1
We investigate the kinetics of loop formation in flexible ideal polymer chains (Rouse model), and polymers in good and poor solvents. We show for the Rouse model, using a modificat…
Stretching Homopolymers
Greg Morrison, Changbong Hyeon, N. M. Toan +2
Force induced stretching of polymers is important in a variety of contexts. We have used theory and simulations to describe the response of homopolymers, with monomers, to forc…
Measuring the energy landscape roughness and the transition state location of biomolecules using single molecule mechanical unfolding experiments
Changbong Hyeon, D. Thirumalai
Single molecule mechanical unfolding experiments are beginning to provide profiles of the complex energy landscape of biomolecules. In order to obtain reliable estimates of the ene…
Kinetics of Interior Loop Formation in Semiflexible Chains
Changbong Hyeon, D. Thirumalai
Loop formation between monomers in the interior of semiflexible chains describes elementary events in biomolecular folding and DNA bending. We calculate analytically the interior d…
