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,…
Activity-controlled clogging and unclogging of micro-channels
Lorenzo Caprini, Fabio Cecconi, Claudio Maggi +1
We propose a mechanism to control the formation of stable obstructions in two-dimensional micro-channels of variable sections taking advantage of the peculiar clustering property o…
Frequency-control of protein translocation across an oscillating nanopore
Fabio Cecconi, Muhammad Adnan Shahzad, Umberto Marini Bettolo Marconi +1
The translocation of a Lipid Binding Protein (LBP) is studied using a phenomenological coarse-grained computational model that simplifies both chain and pore geometry. We investiga…
Models of fluidized granular materials: examples of non-equilibrium stationary states
Andrea Puglisi, Fabio Cecconi, Angelo Vulpiani
We review some models of granular materials fluidized by means of external forces such as: random homogeneous forcing with damping, vibrating plates, flow in an inclined channel an…
Mean Field Approach for a Statistical Mechanical Model of Proteins
Pierpaolo Bruscolini, Fabio Cecconi
We study the thermodynamical properties of a topology-based model proposed by Galzitskaya and Finkelstein for the description of protein folding. We devise and test three different…
