Kinetics of double stranded DNA overstretching revealed by 0.5-2 pN force steps

Pasquale Bianco, Lorenzo Bongini, Luca Melli +2

A detailed description of the conformational plasticity of double stranded DNA (ds) is a necessary framework for understanding protein-DNA interactions. Until now, however structur…

A graph theoretical analysis of the energy landscape of model polymers

Marco Baiesi, Lorenzo Bongini, Lapo Casetti +1

In systems characterized by a rough potential energy landscape, local energetic minima and saddles define a network of metastable states whose topology strongly influences the dyna…

Stochastic dynamics of model proteins on a directed graph

L. Bongini, L. Casetti, R. Livi +2

A method for reconstructing the energy landscape of simple polypeptidic chains is described. We show that we can construct an equivalent representation of the energy landscape by a…

Exploring the energy landscape of model proteins: a metric criterion for the determination of dynamical connectivity

Lorenzo Bongini, Roberto Livi, Antonio Politi +1

A method to reconstruct the energy landscape of small peptides is presented with reference to a 2d off--lattice model. The starting point is a statistical analysis of the configura…

Thermally activated processes in polymer dynamics

Lorenzo Bongini, Roberto Livi, Alessandro Torcini +1

Jumps between neighboring minima in the energy landscape of both homopolymeric and heteropolymeric chains are numerically investigated by determining the average escape time from d…
