Thermodynamics of bouncing grains
Olivier Devauchelle, Predrag Popović, Piotr Szymczak +2
When a horizontal plate vibrates strongly enough, it causes small particles such as sand grains to continually bounce on it and, over time, to diffuse across its surface. This phen…
Proteins in a shear flow
P. Szymczak, Marek Cieplak
The conformational dynamics of a single protein molecule in a shear flow is investigated using Brownian dynamics simulations. A structure-based coarse grained model of a protein is…
Tightening of knots in proteins
Joanna I. Sułkowska, Piotr Sułkowski, Piotr Szymczak +1
We perform theoretical studies of stretching of 20 proteins with knots within a coarse grained model. The knot's ends are found to jump to well defined sequential locations that ar…
Influence of Hydrodynamic Interactions on Mechanical Unfolding of Proteins
P. Szymczak, Marek Cieplak
We incorporate hydrodynamic interactions in a structure-based model of ubiquitin and demonstrate that the hydrodynamic coupling may reduce the peak force when stretching the protei…
Stretching of proteins in a force-clamp
Piotr Szymczak, Marek Cieplak
Mechanically induced protein unfolding in the force-clamp apparatus is shown, in a coarse-grained model of ubiquitin, to have lognormal statistics above a treshold force and expone…
