Giant Casimir non-equilibrium forces drive coil to globule transition in polymers
Himadri S. Samanta, Mauro L. Mugnai, T. R. Kirkpatrick +1
We develop a theory to probe the effect of non-equilibrium fluctuation-induced forces on the size of a polymer confined between two horizontal thermally conductive plates subject t…
Salt Effects on the Thermodynamics of a Frameshifting RNA Pseudoknot under Tension
Naoto Hori, Natalia A. Denesyuk, D. Thirumalai
Because of the potential link between -1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting and response of a pseudoknot (PK) RNA to force, a number of single molecule pulling experiments have bee…
Entropy and enthalpy of interaction between amino acid side chains in nanopores
S. Vaitheeswaran, D. Thirumalai
Understanding the stabilities of proteins in nanopores requires a quantitative description of confinement induced interactions between amino acid side chains. We use molecular dyna…
Universal relations in the self-assembly of proteins and RNA
D. Thirumalai
Concepts rooted in physics are becoming increasingly important in biology as we transition to an era in which quantitative descriptions of all processes from molecular to cellular…
Cellular signaling networks function as generalized Wiener-Kolmogorov filters to suppress noise
Michael Hinczewski, D. Thirumalai
Cellular signaling involves the transmission of environmental information through cascades of stochastic biochemical reactions, inevitably introducing noise that compromises signal…
On the origin of the unusual behavior in the stretching of single-stranded DNA
Ngo Minh Toan, D. Thirumalai
Force extension curves (FECs), which quantify the response of a variety of biomolecules subject to mechanical force (), are often quantitatively fit using worm-like chain (WLC)…
