Detecting molecular folding from noise measurements
Marc Rico, Felix Ritort
Detecting conformational transitions in molecular systems is key to understanding biological processes. Here, we investigate the force variance in single-molecule pulling experimen…
Viscoelastic phenotyping of red blood cells
M. Gironella-Torrent, G. Bergamaschi, R. Sorkin +2
Red Blood Cells (RBCs) are the simplest cell types with complex dynamical and viscoelastic phenomenology. While the mechanical rigidity and the flickering noise of RBCs have been e…
N-States Continuous Maxwell Demon
Paul Raux, Felix Ritort
Maxwell's demon is a famous thought experiment and a paradigm of the thermodynamics of information. It is related to Szilard's engine, a two-state information-to-work conversion de…
Unraveling RNA by Mechanical Unzipping
Paolo Rissone, Isabel Pastor, Felix Ritort
We review the basic concepts and tools for mechanically unzipping RNA hairpins using force spectroscopy. By pulling apart the ends of an RNA molecule using optical tweezers, it is…
Variance Sum Rule for Entropy Production
I. Di Terlizzi, M. Gironella, D. Herraez-Aguilar +4
Entropy production is the hallmark of nonequilibrium physics, quantifying irreversibility, dissipation, and the efficiency of energy transduction processes. Despite many efforts, i…
Towards a robust criterion of anomalous diffusion
Vittoria Sposini, Diego Krapf, Enzo Marinari +8
Anomalous-diffusion, the departure of the spreading dynamics of diffusing particles from the traditional law of Brownian-motion, is a signature feature of a large number of complex…
