Quantum algorithms for compact polymer thermodynamics

Davide Rattacaso, Daniel Jaschke, Antonio Trovato +2

Efficient sampling from ensembles of Hamiltonian cycles is critical for predicting the thermodynamic properties of compact polymers, with applications including modeling protein an…

Key interaction patterns in proteins revealed by cluster expansion of the partition function

M. Tajana, A. Trovato, G. Tiana

The native conformation of structured proteins is stabilized by a complex network of interactions. We analyzed the elementary patterns that constitute such network and ranked them…

Folding Rate Optimization Promotes Frustrated Interactions in Entangled Protein Structures

Federico Norbiato, Flavio Seno, Antonio Trovato +1

Many native structures of proteins accomodate complex topological motifs such as knots, lassos, and other geometrical entanglements. How proteins can fold quickly even in the prese…

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…

Exploring the correlation between the folding rates of proteins and the entanglement of their native states

Marco Baiesi, Enzo Orlandini, Flavio Seno +1

The folding of a protein towards its native state is a rather complicated process. However there are empirical evidences that the folding time correlates with the contact order, a…

Bubble-bound state of triple-stranded DNA: Efimov Physics in DNA with repulsion

Jaya Maji, Flavio Seno, Antonio Trovato +1

The presence of a thermodynamic phase of a three-stranded DNA, namely, a mixed phase of bubbles of two bound strands and a single one, is established for large dimensions ($d\geq 5…
