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…
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…
Understanding causation via correlations and linear response theory
Marco Baldovin, Fabio Cecconi, Angelo Vulpiani
In spite of the (correct) common-wisdom statement correlation does not imply causation, a proper employ of time correlations and of fluctuation-response theory allows to understand…
Diffusion properties of self-propelled particles in cellular flows
Lorenzo Caprini, Fabio Cecconi, Andrea Puglisi +1
We study the dynamics of a self-propelled particle advected by a steady laminar flow. The persistent motion of the self-propelled particle is described by an active Ornstein-Uhlenb…
