Gene-gene cooperativity in small networks
Aleksandra M. Walczak, Peter G. Wolynes
We show how to construct a reduced description of interacting genes in noisy, small regulatory networks using coupled binary "spin" variables. Treating both the protein number and…
Replica theory for fluctuations of the activation barriers in glassy systems
Maxim Dzero, Joerg Schmalian, Peter G. Wolynes
We consider the problem of slow activation dynamics in glassy systems undergoing a random first order phase transition. Using an effective potential approach to supercooled liquids…
On the surface of glasses
Jacob D. Stevenson, Peter G. Wolynes
Dynamics near the surface of glasses is generally much faster than in the bulk. Neglecting static perturbations of structure at the surface, we use random first order transition th…
Hopping induced continuous diffusive dynamics below the non-ergodic transition
Sarika Maitra Bhattacharyya, Biman Bagchi, Peter G. Wolynes
In low temperature supercooled liquid, below the ideal mode coupling theory transition temperature, hopping and continuous diffusion are seen to coexist. We present a theory which…
Protein Structure Prediction Using Basin-Hopping
Michael C. Prentiss, David J. Wales, Peter G. Wolynes
Associative memory Hamiltonian structure prediction potentials are not overly rugged, thereby suggesting their landscapes are like those of actual proteins. In the present contribu…
Constructing explicit magnetic analogies for the dynamics of glass forming liquids
Jacob D. Stevenson, Aleksandra M. Walczak, Randall W. Hall +1
By defining a spatially varying replica overlap parameter for a supercooled liquid referenced to an ensemble of fiducial liquid state configurations we explicitly construct a const…
