Spatial Scaling in Model Plant Communities
Tommaso Zillio, Igor Volkov, Jayanth R. Banavar +2
We present an analytically tractable variant of the voter model that provides a quantitatively accurate description of beta-diversity (two-point correlation function) in two tropic…
Geometrical model for the native-state folds of proteins
Trinh X. Hoang, Antonio Trovato, Flavio Seno +2
We recently introduced a physical model [Hoang et al., P. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (2004), Banavar et al., Phys. Rev. E (2004)] for proteins which incorporates, in an approximate manne…
Neutral Theory and Relative Species Abundance in Ecology
Igor Volkov, Jayanth R. Banavar, Stephen P. Hubbell +1
The theory of island biogeography[1] asserts that an island or a local community approaches an equilibrium species richness as a result of the interplay between the immigration of…
Organization of Ecosystems in the Vicinity of a Novel Phase Transition
Igor Volkov, Jayanth R. Banavar, Amos Maritan
It is shown that an ecosystem in equilibrium is generally organized in a state which is poised in the vicinity of a novel phase transition.
What one can learn from experiments about the elusive transition state?
Iksoo Chang, Marek Cieplak, Jayanth R. Banavar +1
We present the results of an exact analysis of a model energy landscape of a protein to clarify the notion of the transition state and the physical meaning of the values determ…
Accurate and efficient description of protein vibrational dynamics: comparing molecular dynamics and Gaussian models
Cristian Micheletti, Paolo Carloni, Amos Maritan
Current all-atom potential based molecular dynamics (MD) allow the identification of a protein's functional motions on a wide-range of time-scales, up to few tens of ns. However, f…
