Marginally compact phase and ordered ground states in a model polymer with side spheres
Tatjana Škrbić, Trinh Xuan Hoang, Achille Giacometti +2
We present the results of a quantitative study of the phase behavior of a model polymer chain with side spheres using two independent computer simulation techniques. We find that t…
Spontaneous dimensional reduction and novel ground state degeneracy in a simple chain model
Tatjana Škrbić, Trinh Xuan Hoang, Achille Giacometti +2
Chain molecules play a key role in the polymer field and in living cells. Our focus is on a new homopolymer model of a linear chain molecule subject to an attractive self-interacti…
Local sequence-structure relationships in proteins
Tatjana Škrbić, Amos Maritan, Achille Giacometti +1
We seek to understand the interplay between amino acid sequence and local structure in proteins. Are some amino acids unique in their ability to fit harmoniously into certain local…
Building blocks of protein structures -- Physics meets Biology
Tatjana Škrbić, Amos Maritan, Achille Giacometti +2
The native state structures of globular proteins are stable and well-packed indicating that self-interactions are favored over protein-solvent interactions under folding conditions…
Can the roles of polar and non-polar moieties be reversed in non-polar solvents?
Cedrix J. Dongmo, Manuel Carrer, Marine Houvet +3
Using thermodynamics integration, we study the solvation free energy of 18 amino acid side chain equivalents in solvents with different polarity, ranging from the most polar water…
Can Polarity-Inverted Surfactants Self-Assemble in Nonpolar Solvents
M. Carrer, T. Skrbic, S. L. Bore +3
We investigate the self-assembly process of a surfactant with inverted polarity in water and cyclohexane using both all-atom and coarse grained hybrid particle-field molecular dyna…
