Active Gaussian Network Model: a non-equilibrium description of protein fluctuations and allosteric behavior
Giulio Costantini, Lorenzo Caprini, Umberto Marini Bettolo Marconi +1
Understanding the link between structure and function in proteins is fundamental in molecular biology and proteomics. A central question in this context is whether allostery - wher…
Conceptual and practical approaches for investigating irreversible processes
Dario Lucente, Marco Baldovin, Fabio Cecconi +5
Current research in statistical mechanics mostly concerns the investigation of out-of-equilibrium, irreversible processes, which are ubiquitous in nature and still far from being t…
Response of Worm-like Chains to Traveling-Wave Active Forces
Fabio Cecconi, Dario Lucente, Andrea Puglisi +1
We present a simplified theory for semiflexible flagella under the action of a traveling-wave perturbation that emulates the organized active forces generated by molecular motors,…
Extracting causation from millennial-scale climate fluctuations in the last 800 kyr
Marco Baldovin, Fabio Cecconi, Antonello Provenzale +1
The detection of cause-effect relationships from the analysis of paleoclimatic records is a crucial step to disentangle the main mechanisms at work in the climate system. Here, we…
Probability distribution functions of sub- and super-diffusive systems
Fabio Cecconi, Giulio Costantini, Alessandro Taloni +1
We study the anomalous transport in systems of random walks (RW's) on comb-like lattices with fractal sidebranches, showing subdiffusion, and in a system of Brownian particles driv…
Correlated escape of active particles across a potential barrier
Lorenzo Caprini, Fabio Cecconi, Umberto Marini Bettolo Marconi
We study the dynamics of one-dimensional active particles confined in a double-well potential, focusing on the escape properties of the system, such as the mean escape time from a…
