Pathways and kinetic barriers in mechanical unfolding and refolding of RNA and proteins
Changbong Hyeon, Ruxandra I Dima, D. Thirumalai
Using self-organized polymer models, we predict mechanical unfolding and refolding pathways of ribo-zymes, and the green fluorescent protein. In agreement with experiments, there a…
Size, shape, and flexibility of RNA structures
Changbong Hyeon, Ruxandra I. Dima, D. Thirumalai
Determination of sizes and flexibilities of RNA molecules is important in understanding the nature of packing in folded structures and in elucidating interactions between RNA and D…
Scenarios for protein aggregation: Molecular Dynamics simulations and Bioinformatic Analysis
Ruxandra I. Dima, Bogdan Tarus, John E. Straub +1
The need to understand the assembly kinetics of fibril formation has become urgent because of the realization that soluble oligomers of amyloidogenic peptides may be even more neur…
