We have included the chemical rate network responsible for the formation of molecular Hydrogen in the N-body hydrodynamic code, Hydra, in order to study the formation of the first cosmological at redshifts between 10 and 50. We have tested…
The RNA world hypothesis suggests a pathway of how life emerged on early earth. It assumes that life started with RNA based systems, capable of storing, transmitting and replicating information, envisioning that monomers and short RNA…
Selected ribonucleotide sequences bind well to zwitterionic phospholipid bilayer membranes, though randomized RNAs do not. There are no evident repeated sequences in selected membrane binding RNAs. This implies small and varied motifs…
It has been known for some time that some microorganisms can swim faster in high-viscosity gel-forming polymer solutions. These gel-like media come to mimic highly viscous heterogeneous environment that these microorganisms encounter…
The base pair fluctuations and helix untwisting are examined for a circular molecule. A realistic mesoscopic model including twisting degrees of freedom and bending of the molecular axis is proposed. The computational method, based on path…
In biological cells, DNA replication is carried out by the replisome, a protein complex encompassing multiple DNA polymerases. DNA replication is semi-discontinuous: a DNA polymerase synthesizes one (leading) strand of the DNA continuously,…
The work concerns the spectral, entropy and bifurcation analysis of the dynamics of a reverse-flow system. The existence of chaotic oscillations was demonstrated in a wide range of changes in the parameters of the model. The model of such a…
We propose a rotary DNA nanomachine that shows a continuous rotation with a frequency of 10^2 -10^4 Hz. This motor consists of a DNA ring whose elastic features are tuned such that it can be externally driven via a periodic temperature…
A mystery about the origins of life is which molecular structures $-$ and what spontaneous processes $-$ drove the autocatalytic transition from simple chemistry to biology? Using the HP lattice model of polymer sequence spaces leads to the…
Atomically detailed simulations of RNA folding have proven very challenging in view of the difficulties of developing realistic force fields and the intrinsic computational complexity of sampling rare conformational transitions. To tackle…

The reproduction of a living cell requires a repeatable set of chemical events to be properly coordinated. Such events define a replication cycle, coupling the growth and shape change of the cell membrane with internal metabolic reactions.…
Percolation phenomena are pervasive in nature, ranging from capillary flow, crack propagation, ionic transport, fluid permeation, etc. Modeling percolation in highly-branched media requires the use of numerical solutions, as problems can…
Vapor deposition allows for the synthesis of metastable polymorphs with unique properties, yet polymorph selection remains largely empirical due to the lack of predictive guidelines bridging thermodynamics, kinetics, and synthesis…
