Topological Sieving of Rings According to their Rigidity
Stefano Iubini, Enzo Orlandini, Davide Michieletto +1
We present a novel mechanism for resolving the mechanical rigidity of nanoscopic circular polymers that flow in a complex environment. The emergence of a regime of negative differe…
Sequence and structural patterns detected in entangled proteins reveal the importance of co-translational folding
Marco Baiesi, Enzo Orlandini, Flavio Seno +1
Proteins must fold quickly to acquire their biologically functional three-dimensional native structures. Hence, these are mainly stabilized by local contacts, while intricate topol…
Synergy of Topoisomerase and Structural-Maintenance-of-Chromosomes Proteins Creates a Universal Pathway to Simplify Genome Topology
Enzo Orlandini, Davide Marenduzzo, Davide Michieletto
Topological entanglements severely interfere with important biological processes. For this reason, genomes must be kept unknotted and unlinked during most of a cell cycle. Type II…
Magnetic Polymer Models for Epigenomic Organisation and Phase Separation
Davide Coli, Davide Michieletto, Davide Marenduzzo +1
The genetic instructions stored in the genome require an additional layer of information to robustly determine cell fate. This additional regulation is provided by the interplay be…
Rheology of an inverted cholesteric droplet under shear flow
Federico Fadda, Giuseppe Gonnella, Antonio Lamura +2
The dynamics of a quasi two-dimensional isotropic droplet in a cholesteric liquid crystal medium under symmetric shear flow is studied by lattice Boltzmann simulations. We consider…
Lamellar ordering, droplet formation and phase inversion in exotic active emulsions
Francesco Bonelli, Livio Nicola Carenza, Giuseppe Gonnella +3
We study numerically the behaviour of a mixture of a passive isotropic fluid and an active polar gel, in the presence of a surfactant favouring emulsification. Focussing on paramet…
