Mechanism for the stabilization of protein clusters above the solubility curve

James F. Lutsko, Grégoire Nicolis

Pan, Vekilov and Lubchenko[\textit{J. Phys. Chem. B}, 2010, \textbf{114}, 7620] have proposed that dense stable protein clusters appearing in weak protein solutions above the solub…

DNA viewed as an out-of-equilibrium structure

A. Provata, C. Nicolis, G. Nicolis

The complexity of the primary structure of human DNA is explored using methods from nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, dynamical systems theory and information theory. The use o…

Kinetics of intermediate-mediated self-assembly in nano-sized materials: a generic model

James F. Lutsko, Vasileios Basios, Gregoire Nicolis +5

We propose in this paper a generic model of a non-standard aggregation mechanism for self-assembly processes of a class of materials involving the mediation of intermediates consis…

Kinetic roughening-like transition with finite nucleation barrier

James F. Lutsko, Vasileios Basios, Gregoire Nicolis +3

Recent observations of the growth of protein crystals have identified two different growth regimes. At low supersaturation, the surface of the crystal is smooth and increasing in s…

Symbolic Dynamics Generated by a Combination of Graphs

Vasileios Basios, Gian-Luigi Forti, Gregoire Nicolis

In this paper we investigate the growth rate of the number of all possible paths in graphs with respect to their length in an exact analytical way. Apart from the typical rates of…

Theoretical evidence for a dense fluid precursor to crystallization

James F. Lutsko, Grégoire Nicolis

We present classical density functional theory calculations of the free energy landscape for fluids below their triple point as a function of density and crystallinity. We find tha…
