Theory of force-extension curve for modular proteins and DNA hairpins
L. L. Bonilla, A. Carpio, A. Prados
We study a model describing the force-extension curves of modular proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules made out of several single units or modules. At a mesoscopic level…
Protein unfolding and refolding as transitions through virtual states
L. L. Bonilla, A. Carpio, A. Prados
Single-molecule atomic force spectroscopy probes elastic properties of titin, ubiquitin and other relevant proteins. We explain bioprotein folding dynamics under both length- and f…
Ripples in a string coupled to Glauber spins
L L Bonilla, A Carpio, A Prados +1
Each oscillator in a linear chain (a string) interacts with a local Ising spin in contact with a thermal bath. These spins evolve according to Glauber dynamics. Below a critical te…
Statics and dynamics of a harmonic oscillator coupled to a one-dimensional Ising system
A. Prados, L. L. Bonilla, A. Carpio
We investigate an oscillator linearly coupled with a one-dimensional Ising system. The coupling gives rise to drastic changes both in the oscillator statics and dynamics. Firstly,…
Nonequilibrium dynamics of a fast oscillator coupled to Glauber spins
L. L. Bonilla, A. Prados, A. Carpio
A fast harmonic oscillator is linearly coupled with a system of Ising spins that are in contact with a thermal bath, and evolve under a slow Glauber dynamics at dimensionless tempe…
Phase transitions in a mechanical system coupled to Glauber spins
A. Prados, L. L. Bonilla, A. Carpio
A harmonic oscillator linearly coupled with a linear chain of Ising spins is investigated. The spins in the chain interact with their nearest neighbours with a coupling constan…
