Effects of ligand binding on the energy landscape of acyl-CoA-binding protein

Punam Sonar, Luca Bellucci, Alessandro Mossa +3

Binding of ligands is often crucial for function yet the effects of ligand binding on the mechanical stability and energy landscape of proteins are incompletely understood. Here we…

A fit-less approach to the elasticity of the handles in optical tweezers experiments

Alessandro Mossa, Ciro Cecconi

The elastic properties of the double-stranded DNA handles used in optical tweezers experiments on biomolecules are customarily modeled by an extensible worm-like chain model. Fitti…

Strong anomalous diffusion of the phase of a chaotic pendulum

Francesco Cagnetta, Giuseppe Gonnella, Alessandro Mossa +1

In this letter we consider the phase diffusion of a harmonically driven undamped pendulum and show that it is anomalous in the strong sense. The role played by the fractal properti…

Condensation and equilibration in an urn model

Federico Corberi, Giuseppe Gonnella, Alessandro Mossa

After reviewing the general scaling properties of aging systems, we present a numerical study of the slow evolution induced in the zeta urn model by a quench from a high temperatur…

Dynamics of a homogeneous active dumbbell system

Antonio Suma, Giuseppe Gonnella, Gianluca Laghezza +3

We analyse the dynamics of a two dimensional system of interacting active dumbbells. We characterise the mean-square displacement, linear response function and deviation from the e…

Experimental free energy measurements of kinetic molecular states using fluctuation theorems

Anna Alemany, Alessandro Mossa, Ivan Junier +1

Recent advances in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and single molecule technologies make it possible to extract free energy differences from irreversible work measurements in…
