Thermal breakage of a discrete one-dimensional string
Chiu Fan Lee
We study the thermal breakage of a discrete one-dimensional string, with open and fixed ends, in the heavily damped regime. Basing our analysis on the multidimensional Kramers esca…

Isotropic-nematic phase transition in amyloid fibrilization
Chiu Fan Lee
We carry out a theoretical study on the isotropic-nematic phase transition and phase separation in amyloid fibril solutions. Borrowing the thermodynamic model employed in the study…

Elongation dynamics of amyloid fibrils: a rugged energy landscape picture
Chiu Fan Lee, James Loken, Letitia Jean +1
Protein amyloid fibrils are a form of linear protein aggregates that are implicated in many neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we study the dynamics of amyloid fibril elongation by…
