Simulating a burnt-bridges DNA motor with a coarse-grained DNA model
Petr Šulc, Thomas E. Ouldridge, Flavio Romano +2
We apply a recently-developed coarse-grained model of DNA, designed to capture the basic physics of nanotechnological DNA systems, to the study of a `burnt-bridges' DNA motor consi…
Theoretical calculations of phase diagrams and self-assembly in patchy colloids
Achille Giacometti, Flavio Romano, Francesco Sciortino
Review paper. Chapter 6 in Janus Particles Synthesis, Self-Assembly, and Applications pages 108-137, Edited by Steve Granick and Shan Jiang (RCS Publishing 2012) http://www.rsc.org…
Coarse-grained simulations of DNA overstretching
Flavio Romano, Debayan Chakraborty, Jonathan P. K. Doye +2
We use a recently developed coarse-grained model to simulate the overstretching of duplex DNA. Overstretching at 23C occurs at 74 pN in the model, about 6-7 pN higher than the expe…
Sequence-dependent thermodynamics of a coarse-grained DNA model
Petr Šulc, Flavio Romano, Thomas E. Ouldridge +3
We introduce a sequence-dependent parametrization for a coarse-grained DNA model [T. E. Ouldridge, A. A. Louis, and J. P. K. Doye, J. Chem. Phys. 134, 085101 (2011)] originally des…
The effect of topology on the structure and free energy landscape of DNA kissing complexes
Flavio Romano, Alex Hudson, Jonathan P. K. Doye +2
We use a recently developed coarse-grained model for DNA to study kissing complexes formed by hybridization of complementary hairpin loops. The binding of the loops is topologicall…
Fluid-Fluid and Fluid-Solid transitions in the Kern-Frenkel model from Barker-Henderson thermodynamic perturbation theory
Christoph Gögelein, Flavio Romano, Francesco Sciortino +1
We study the Kern-Frenkel model for patchy colloids using Barker-Henderson second-order thermodynamic perturbation theory. The model describes a fluid where hard sphere particles a…
