Snare machinery is optimized for ultrafast fusion
Fabio Manca, Frederic Pincet, Lev Truskinovsky +3
SNARE proteins zipper to form SNAREpins that power vesicle fusion with target membranes in a variety of biological processes. A single SNAREpin takes about 1 second to fuse two bil…
Generalized interface models for transport phenomena: unusual scale effects in composite nanomaterials
Fabio Pavanello, Fabio Manca, Pier Luca Palla +1
The effective transport properties of heterogeneous nanoscale materials and structures are affected by several geometrical and physical factors. Among them the presence of imperfec…
Theory and Monte Carlo simulations for the stretching of flexible and semi-flexible single polymer chains under external fields
Fabio Manca, Stefano Giordano, Pier Luca Palla +2
Recent developments of microscopic mechanical experiments allow the manipulation of individual polymer molecules in two main ways: \textit{uniform} stretching by external forces an…
Theory of single-molecule experiments in the overstretching force regime
Fabio Manca, Stefano Giordano, Pier Luca Palla +2
We present a statistical mechanics analysis of the finite-size elasticity of biopolymers, consisting of domains which can exhibit transitions between more than one stable state at…
