Mechanically probing the folding pathway of single RNA molecules

Ulrich Gerland, Ralf Bundschuh, Terence Hwa

We study theoretically the denaturation of single RNA molecules by mechanical stretching, focusing on signatures of the (un)folding pathway in molecular fluctuations. Our model des…

Dynamics of Competitive Evolution on a Smooth Landscape

Weiqun Peng, Ulrich Gerland, Terence Hwa +1

We study competitive DNA sequence evolution directed by {\it in vitro} protein binding. The steady-state dynamics of this process is well described by a shape-preserving pulse whic…
