Casimir manipulations: The orientation dependence of fluctuation-induced forces
T. Emig, N. Graham, R. L. Jaffe +1
The Casimir interaction between two objects, or between an object and a plane, depends on their relative orientations. We make these angular dependences explicit by considering pro…
Predicting Transcription Factor Specificity with All-Atom Models
Sahand Jamal Rahi, Peter Virnau, Leonid A. Mirny +1
The binding of a transcription factor (TF) to a DNA operator site can initiate or repress the expression of a gene. Computational prediction of sites recognized by a TF has traditi…
Melting of persistent double-stranded polymers
Sahand Jamal Rahi, Mark Peter Hertzberg, Mehran Kardar
Motivated by recent DNA-pulling experiments, we revisit the Poland-Scheraga model of melting a double-stranded polymer. We include distinct bending rigidities for both the double-s…
Probability distributions for polymer translocation
Clément Chatelain, Yacov Kantor, Mehran Kardar
We study the passage (translocation) of a self-avoiding polymer through a membrane pore in two dimensions. In particular, we numerically measure the probability distribution Q(T) o…
