Melting a stretched DNA
D. Marenduzzo, A. Maritan, E. Orlandini +2
We study the melting of a double stranded DNA in the presence of stretching forces, via 3D Monte-Carlo simulations, exactly solvable models and heuristic arguments. The resulting f…
Recurrent oligomers in proteins - an optimal scheme reconciling accurate and concise backbone representations in automated folding and design studies
Cristian Micheletti, Flavio Seno, Amos Maritan
A novel scheme is introduced to capture the spatial correlations of consecutive amino acids in naturally occurring proteins. This knowledge-based strategy is able to carry out opti…
Optimal shapes of compact strings
Amos Maritan, Cristian Micheletti, Antonio Trovato +1
Optimal geometrical arrangements, such as the stacking of atoms, are of relevance in diverse disciplines. A classic problem is the determination of the optimal arrangement of spher…
