Water Contribution to the Protein Folding and its Relevance in Protein Design and Protein Aggregation
Giancarlo Franzese, Joan Àguila Rojas, Valentino Bianco +1
Water plays a fundamental role in protein stability. However, the effect of the properties of water on the behaviour of proteins is only partially understood. Several theories have…
Active polymer rings: activity-induced collapse and dynamical arrest
Emanuele Locatelli, Valentino Bianco, Paolo Malgaretti
We investigate, using numerical simulations, the conformations of isolated active ring polymers. We find that the their behaviour depends crucially on their size: short rings ($N \…
Protein Unfolding and Aggregation near a Hydrophobic Interface
David March, Valentino Bianco, Giancarlo Franzese
The behavior of proteins near interfaces is relevant for biological and medical purposes. Previous results in bulk show that, when the protein concentration increases, the proteins…
Self-adaptation of Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilms to hydrodynamic stress
Josue J. Perez, Francisco Alarcon Oseguera, Ajay K. Monnappa +9
In some conditions, bacteria self-organise into biofilms, supracellular structures made of a self-produced embedding matrix, mainly composed on polysaccharides, DNA, proteins and l…
