Active translocation of a semiflexible polymer assisted by an ATP-based molecular motor
A. Fiasconaro, J. J. Mazo, F. Falo
In this work we study the assisted translocation of a polymer across a membrane nanopore, inside which a molecular motor exerts a force fuelled by the hydrolysis of ATP molecules.…
Surface defects and temperature on atomic friction
Oscar Y. Fajardo, J. J. Mazo
We present a theoretical study of the effect of surface defects on atomic friction in the stick-slip dynamical regime of a minimalistic model. We focus on how the presence of defec…
Microwave photonics with Josephson junction arrays: negative refraction index and entanglement through disorder
David Zueco, Juan José Mazo, Enrique Solano +1
We study different architectures for a photonic crystal in the microwave regime based on superconducting transmission lines interrupted by Josephson junctions, both in one and two…
Michaelis-Menten dynamics of a polymer chain out of a dichotomous ATP-based motor
Alessandro Fiasconaro, Juan José Mazo, Fernando Falo
We present a model of an ATP-fueled molecular machine which push a polymer through a pore channel. The machine acts between two levels (working-waiting), and the working one remain…
Thermal and mechanical properties of a DNA model with solvation barrier
Rafael Tapia-Rojo, Juan J. Mazo, Fernando Falo
We study the thermal and mechanical behavior of DNA denaturation in the frame of the mesoscopic Peyrard- Bishop-Dauxois model with the inclusion of solvent interaction. By analyzin…
A model for hand-over-hand motion of molecular motors
Javier Munarriz, Juan J. Mazo, Fernando Falo
A simple flashing ratchet model in two dimensions is proposed to simulate the hand-over-hand motion of two head molecular motors like kinesin. Extensive Langevin simulations of the…
