Thickness-dependence of coercive field (EC) was investigated in ultrathin BaTiO3 capacitors with thicknesses (d) between 30 and 5 nm. The EC appears nearly independent of d below 15 nm, and decreases slowly as d increases above 15 nm. This…
Most living systems rely on double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) to store their genetic information and perpetuate themselves. This biological information has been considered the main target of evolution. However, here we show that symmetries and…
The native conformation of structured proteins is stabilized by a complex network of interactions. We analyzed the elementary patterns that constitute such network and ranked them according to their importance in shaping protein sequence…
Cross encoders (CEs) are trained with sentence pairs to detect relatedness. As CEs require sentence pairs at inference, the prevailing view is that they can only be used as re-rankers in information retrieval pipelines. Dual encoders (DEs)…
Key enzymatic processes in biology use the nonequilibrium error correction mechanism called kinetic proofreading to enhance their specificity. Kinetic proofreading typically requires several dedicated structural features in the enzyme, such…
Histogram-reweighting grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations are used to obtain the critical properties of lattice chains composed of solvophilic and solvophobic monomers. The model is a modification of one proposed by Larson \emph{et al.}…
We propose a novel and flexible DNA-storage architecture, which divides the storage space into fixed-size units (blocks) that can be independently and efficiently accessed at random for both read and write operations, and further allows…
The mechanism and driving forces of chromosome segregation in the bacterial cell cycle of E. coli is one of the least understood events in its life cycle. Using principles of entropic repulsion between polymer loops confined in a cylinder,…
Recognition and binding of specific sites on DNA by proteins is central for many cellular functions such as transcription, replication, and recombination. In the process of recognition, a protein rapidly searches for its specific site on a…
The Exact Circular Pattern Matching (ECPM) problem consists of reporting every occurrence of a rotation of a pattern $P$ in a text $T$. In many real-world applications, specifically in computational biology, circular rotations are of…

The amount and type of self-entanglement of DNA filaments is significantly affected by spatial confinement, which is ubiquitous in biological systems. Motivated by recent advancements in single DNA molecule experiments based on nanofluidic…
Proteins must bind to specific other proteins in vivo in order to function. The proteins must bind only to one or a few other proteins of the of order a thousand proteins typically present in vivo. Using a simple model of a protein,…
We examine the applicability of the extended law of corresponding states (ELCS) to equilibrium and non equilibrium features of the state diagram of the globular protein lysozyme. We provide compelling evidence that the ELCS correctly…
This paper studies the sequence reconstruction problem for a channel inspired by protein identification. We introduce a coloring channel, where a sequence is transmitted through a channel that deletes all symbols not belonging to a fixed…
Specific protein-protein interactions are crucial in the cell, both to ensure the formation and stability of multi-protein complexes, and to enable signal transduction in various pathways. Functional interactions between proteins result in…
A time series is uniquely represented by its geometric shape, which also carries information. A time series can be modelled as the trajectory of a particle moving in a force field with one degree of freedom. The force acting on the particle…
