Percolation exponents at the entanglement transition
Y. Yilmaz, O. Pekcan, A. Erzan
NOTE: This paper has been withdrawn by the authors, because they have been subsequently convinced that the sudden increase in the pyrene fluorescence cannot arise from entanglement…
A Thermodynamic Model for Prebiotic Protein Function
Ayse Erzan, Erkan Tuzel
We propose a scenario for the prebiotic co-evolution of RNA and of fast folding proteins with large entropy gaps as observed today. We show from very general principles that the fo…
Evolutionary route to diploidy and sex
Erkan Tuzel, Volkan Sevim, Ayse Erzan
Using a bit-string model of evolution, we find a successful route to diploidy and sex in simple organisms. Allowing the sexually reproducing diploid individuals to also perform mit…
Strategies for the evolution of sex
Erkan Tuzel, Volkan Sevim, Ayse Erzan
We find that the hypothesis made by Jan, Stauffer and Moseley [Theory in Biosc., 119, 166 (2000)] for the evolution of sex, namely a strategy devised to escape extinction due to to…
