Direction dependent mechanical unfolding and Green Fluorescent Protein as a force sensor
M. Caraglio, A. Imparato, A. Pelizzola
An Ising--like model of proteins is used to investigate the mechanical unfolding of the Green Fluorescent Protein along different directions. When the protein is pulled from its en…
Pathways of mechanical unfolding of FnIII_{10}: low force intermediates
M. Caraglio, A. Imparato, A. Pelizzola
We study the mechanical unfolding pathways of the domain of fibronectin by means of an Ising--like model, using both constant force and constant velocity protocols. At…
Equilibrium properties and force-driven unfolding pathways of RNA molecules
A. Imparato, A. Pelizzola, M. Zamparo
The mechanical unfolding of a simple RNA hairpin and of a 236--bases portion of the Tetrahymena thermophila ribozyme is studied by means of an Ising--like model. Phase diagrams and…
Mechanical unfolding and refolding pathways of ubiquitin
A. Imparato, A. Pelizzola
Mechanical unfolding and refolding of ubiquitin are studied by Monte Carlo simulations of a Go model with binary variables. The exponential dependence of the time constants on the…
Protein mechanical unfolding: a model with binary variables
A. Imparato, A. Pelizzola, M. Zamparo
A simple lattice model, recently introduced as a generalization of the Wako--Saitô model of protein folding, is used to investigate the properties of widely studied molecules under…
An Ising-Like model for protein mechanical unfolding
A. Imparato, A. Pelizzola, M. Zamparo
The mechanical unfolding of proteins is investigated by extending the Wako-Saito-Munoz-Eaton model, a simplified protein model with binary degrees of freedom, which has proved succ…
Two-dimensional lattice-fluid model with water-like anomalies
C. Buzano, E. de Stefanis, A. Pelizzola +1
We investigate a lattice-fluid model defined on a two-dimensional triangular lattice, with the aim of reproducing qualitatively some anomalous properties of water. Model molecules…
