Internal protein dynamics shifts the distance to the mechanical transition state
Daniel K. West, Emanuele Paci, Peter D. Olmsted
Mechanical unfolding of polyproteins by force spectroscopy provides valuable insight into their free energy landscapes. Most phenomenological models of the unfolding process are tw…
Validation of the Jarzynski relation for a system with strong thermal coupling: an isothermal ideal gas model
A. Baule, R. M. L. Evans, P. D. Olmsted
We revisit the paradigm of an ideal gas under isothermal conditions. A moving piston performs work on an ideal gas in a container that is strongly coupled to a heat reservoir. The…
Vorticity Banding During the Lamellar-to-Onion Transition in a Lyotropic Surfactant Solution in Shear Flow
Georgina M. H. Wilkins, Peter D. Olmsted
We report on the rheology of a lamellar lyotropic surfactant solution (SDS/dodecane/pentanol/water), and identify a discontinuous transition between two shear thinning regimes whic…
