Forced-rupture of Cell-Adhesion Complexes Reveals abrupt switch between two Brittle States
Ngo Min Toan, D. Thirumalai
Cell adhesion complexes (CACs), which are activated by ligand binding, play key roles in many cellular functions ranging from cell cycle regulation to mediation of cell extracellul…

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)…

Theory of biopolymer stretching at high forces
Ngo Minh Toan, D. Thirumalai
We provide a unified theory for the high force elasticity of biopolymers solely in terms of the persistence length, , and the monomer spacing, . When the force $f>\fh \sim…
