Physics of thick polymers
D. Marenduzzo, A. Flammini, A. Trovato +2
We present the results of analytic calculations and numerical simulations of the behaviour of a new class of chain molecules which we call thick polymers. The concept of the thickn…
Geometrical model for the native-state folds of proteins
Trinh X. Hoang, Antonio Trovato, Flavio Seno +2
We recently introduced a physical model [Hoang et al., P. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (2004), Banavar et al., Phys. Rev. E (2004)] for proteins which incorporates, in an approximate manne…
Design of amino acid sequences to fold into C_alpha-model proteins
A. Amatori, G. Tiana, L. Sutto +3
In order to extend the results obtained with minimal lattice models to more realistic systems, we study a model where proteins are described as a chain of 20 kinds of structureless…
Geometry of proteins: hydrogen bonding, sterics and marginally compact tubes
Jayanth R. Banavar, Marek Cieplak, Alessandro Flammini +8
The functionality of proteins is related to their structure in the native state. Protein structures are made up of emergent building blocks of helices and almost planar sheets. A s…
Continuum model for polymers with finite thickness
D. Marenduzzo, C. Micheletti, H. Seyed-allaei +2
We consider the continuum limit of a recently-introduced model for discretized thick polymers, or tubes. We address both analytically and numerically how the polymer thickness infl…
