Featuring ACE2 binding SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 through a conserved evolutionary pattern of amino acid residues
Patrícia P. D. Carvalho, Nelson A. Alves
Spike (S) glycoproteins mediate the coronavirus entry into the host cell. The S1 subunit of S-proteins contains the receptor-binding domain (RBD) that is able to recognize differen…
Time-dependent Monte Carlo simulations of the critical and Lifshitz points of the ANNNI model
Roberto da Silva, Nelson Alves, J. R. Drugowich de Felício
In this work, we study the critical behavior of second order points and specifically of the Lifshitz point (LP) of a three-dimensional Ising model with axial competing interactions…
Superstatistics and the quest of generalized ensembles equivalence in a system with long-range interactions
Nelson A. Alves, Rafael B. Frigori
The so-called -superstatistics of Beck and Cohen (BC) is employed to investigate the infinite-range Blume-Capel model, a well-known representative system displaying inequiva…
Microcanonical thermostatistics analysis without histograms: cumulative distribution and Bayesian approaches
Nelson A. Alves, Lucas D. Morero, Leandro G. Rizzi
Microcanonical thermostatistics analysis has become an important tool to reveal essential aspects of phase transitions in complex systems. An efficient way to estimate the microcan…
Microcanonical thermostatistics of coarse-grained proteins with amyloidogenic propensity
Rafael B. Frigori, Leandro G. Rizzi, Nelson A. Alves
The formation of fibrillar aggregates seems to be a common characteristic of polypeptide chains, although the observation of these aggregates may depend on appropriate experimental…
Stripe-tetragonal phase transition in the 2D Ising model with dipole interactions: Partition-function zeros approach
Jacyana S. M. Fonseca, Leandro G. Rizzi, Nelson A. Alves
We have performed multicanonical simulations to study the critical behavior of the two-dimensional Ising model with dipole interactions. This study concerns the thermodynamic phase…
