Driven diffusion against electrostatic or effective energy barrier across Alpha-Hemolysin
Patrizio Ansalone, Mauro Chinappi, Lamberto Rondoni +1
We analyze the translocation of a charged particle across an Alpha-Hemolysin (aHL) pore in the framework of a driven diffusion over an extended energy barrier generated by the elec…
Coarse-grained modeling of protein unspecifically bound to DNA
Carlo Guardiani, Massimo Cencini, Fabio Cecconi
There is now a certain consensus that Transcription Factors (TFs) reach their target sites, where they regulate gene transcription, via a mechanism dubbed facilitated diffusion (FD…
Functional Dynamics of PDZ Binding Domains: A Normal Mode Analysis
Paolo De Los Rios, Fabio Cecconi, Anna Pretre +4
PDZ (Post-synaptic density-95/discs large/zonula occludens-1) domains are relatively small (80 to 120 residues) protein binding modules central in the organization of receptor clus…
Topological thermal instability and length of proteins
R. Burioni, D. Cassi, F. Cecconi +1
We present an analysis of the effects of global topology on the structural stability of folded proteins in thermal equilibrium with a heat bath. For a large class of single domain…
