Entropic Clustering of Stickers Induces Aging in Biocondensates
Hugo Le Roy, Paolo De Los Rios
Biomolecular condensates are cellular phase-separated droplets that usually exhibit a viscoelastic mechanical response. A behavior rationalized by modeling the complex molecules th…
The Shape of a Stretched Polymer
Alberto S. Sassi, Salvatore Assenza, Paolo De Los Rios
The shape of a polymer plays an important role in determining its interactions with other molecules and with the environment, and is in turn affected by both of them. As a conseque…
Fractal Dimension and Localization of DNA Knots
Erika Ercolini, Francesco Valle, Jozef Adamcik +5
The scaling properties of DNA knots of different complexities were studied by atomic force microscope. Following two different protocols DNA knots are adsorbed onto a mica surface…
The Glass-like Structure of Globular Proteins and the Boson Peak
Stefano Ciliberti, Paolo De Los Rios, Francesco Piazza
Vibrational spectra of proteins and topologically disordered solids display a common anomaly at low frequencies, known as Boson peak. We show that such feature in globular proteins…
Scaling exponents and probability distributions of DNA end-to-end distance
Francesco Valle, Melanie Favre, Paolo De Los Rios +2
Correlation length exponent for long linear DNA molecules was determined by direct measurement of the average end-to-end distance as a function of the contour length by mea…
