Coiled coils (CCs) are powerful supramolecular building blocks for biomimetic materials,
increasingly used for their mechanical properties. Here, we introduce helix‐inducing …

The natural abundance of coiled coil (CC) motifs in the cytoskeleton and the extracellular
matrix suggests that CCs play a crucial role in the bidirectional mechanobiochemical signaling …

Coiled coils are widespread protein motifs in nature, and promising building blocks for bio-inspired
nanomaterials and nanoscale force sensors. Detailed structural insight into their …

Background Electrotherapy is a relatively well established and efficient method of tumor
treatment. In this paper we focus on analytical and numerical calculations of the potential and …

We study the influence of a terahertz field on thermal properties of DNA molecules. A
Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois model with the inclusion of a solvent interaction term is considered. The …

We study the features on the unzipping process of a modified version of the Peyrard–Bishop–Dauxois
model. We show that the inclusion of a barrier in the on-site potential allows for the …

Genomes contain rare guanine-rich sequences capable of assembling into four-stranded
helical structures, termed G-quadruplexes, with potential roles in gene regulation and …

The mechanical separation of the double-stranded DNA in single-molecule experiments is
of fundamental importance in the understanding of the replication or transcription processes. …
