Dynamic force spectroscopy of DNA hairpins. II. Irreversibility and dissipation
Maria Manosas, Alessandro Mossa, Nuria Forns +2
We investigate irreversibility and dissipation in single molecules that cooperatively fold/unfold in a two state manner under the action of mechanical force. We apply path thermody…

Dynamic force spectroscopy of DNA hairpins. I. Force kinetics and free energy landscapes
Alessandro Mossa, Maria Manosas, Nuria Forns +2
We investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of DNA hairpins that fold/unfold under the action of applied mechanical force. We introduce the concept of the molecular free energy…

Force dependent fragility in RNA hairpins
M. Manosas, D. Collin, F. Ritort
We apply Kramers theory to investigate the dissociation of multiple bonds under mechanical force and interpret experimental results for the unfolding/refolding force distributions…
