Local Cooperativity Mechanism in the DNA Melting Transition
Vassili Ivanov, Dmitri Piontkovski, Giovanni Zocchi
We propose a new statistical mechanics model for the melting transition of DNA. Base pairing and stacking are treated as separate degrees of freedom, and the interplay between pair…
Statistical mechanics of base stacking and pairing in DNA melting
Vassili Ivanov, Yan Zeng, Giovanni Zocchi
We propose a statistical mechanics model for DNA melting in which base stacking and pairing are explicitly introduced as distinct degrees of freedom. Unlike previous approaches, th…
Critical aspects of hierarchical protein folding
Alex Hansen, Mogens H. Jensen, Kim Sneppen +1
We argue that the first order folding transitions of proteins observed at physiological chemical conditions end in a critical point for a given temperature and chemical potential o…
