Mechanical response of random heteropolymers [PDF]
Macromolecules, 2001 We present an analytical theory for heteropolymer deformation, as exemplified experimentally by stretching of single protein molecules. Using a mean-field replica theory, we determine phase diagrams for stress-induced unfolding of typical random ...

The mechanical response of a creased sheet [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2014 We investigate the mechanics of thin sheets decorated by non-interacting creases. The system considered here consists in parallel folds connected by elastic panels.

Imperfect Best-Response Mechanisms [PDF]
Theory of Computing Systems, 2013 Best-response mechanisms (Nisan, Schapira, Valiant, Zohar, 2011) provide a unifying framework for studying various distributed protocols in which the participants are instructed to repeatedly best respond to each others' strategies. Two fundamental features of these mechanisms are convergence and incentive compatibility.

The mechanical response of talin [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 AbstractTalin, a force-bearing cytoplasmic adapter essential for integrin-mediated cell adhesion, links the actin cytoskeleton to integrin-based cell–extracellular matrix adhesions at the plasma membrane. Its C-terminal rod domain, which contains 13 helical bundles, plays important roles in mechanosensing during cell adhesion and spreading.

Ligand-responsive RNA mechanical switches [PDF]
RNA Biology, 2015 Ligand-responsive RNA mechanical switches represent a new class of simple switching modules that adopt well-defined ligand-free and bound conformational states, distinguishing them from metabolite-sensing riboswitches. Initially discovered in the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) of hepatitis C virus (HCV), these RNA switch motifs were found in the ...
