The structure of DNA Binding Proteins enables a strong interaction with their specific target site on DNA. However, recent single molecule experiment reported that proteins can diffuse on DNA. This suggests that the interactions between…
The traditional picture of heat transfer in solids by atomic vibrations, also known as phonons, involves phonons scattering with each other like gas particles and is commonly referred to as the phonon gas model (PGM). This physical picture…
We theoretically analyze correlation effects on the transport properties of a benzene molecule that are mediated by interactions between the motion of the nuclei and the transmitted charge. We focus on the lowest-lying molecular vibrational…
The respective roles of local and nonlocal interactions in the thermodynamic cooperativity of proteins are investigated using continuum (off-lattice) native-centric G\=o-like models with a coarse-grained C$_\alpha$ chain representation. We…
A model to describe the mechanism of conformational dynamics in secondary protein based on matter interactions is proposed. The approach deploys the lagrangian method by imposing certain symmetry breaking. The protein backbone is initially…
The mitotic spindle lies at the heart of the spatio-temporal control over cellular components during cell division. The spindle consists of microtubules, which are not only crosslinked by motor proteins but also by passive binding proteins.…
Vibrational nonequilibrium effects in charge transport through single-molecule junctions are investigated. Focusing on molecular bridges with multiple electronic states, it is shown that electronic-vibrational coupling triggers a variety of…
The dynamics of folding of proteins is studied by means of a phenomenological master equation. The energy distribution is taken as a truncated exponential for the misfolded states plus a native state sitting below the continuum. The…
Current all-atom potential based molecular dynamics (MD) allow the identification of a protein's functional motions on a wide-range of time-scales, up to few tens of ns. However, functional large scale motions of proteins may occur on a…
The relation between the energy and momentum of plasmarons in bilayer graphene is investigated within the Overhauser approach, where the electron-plasmon interaction is described as a field theoretical problem. We find that the Dirac-like…
The electronic and electrical properties of crystalline organic semiconductors, such as the dispersions of the electronic bands and the dependence of charge-carrier mobility on temperature, are greatly impacted by the nonlocal…
Allosteric interactions between molecules bound to DNA at distant locations have been known for a long time. The phenomenon has been studied via experiments and numerical simulations, but a comprehensive understanding grounded in a theory…
In the present work, we analyze the influence of the polarization effects taking place during the course of a 2DIR spectroscopy experiment performed on a molecular system undergoing an intermolecular vibrational energy transfer process.…
Exchange interaction strongly influences the long-range behaviour of localised electron orbitals and quantum tunneling amplitudes. It violates the oscillation theorem (creates extra nodes) and produces a power-law decay instead of the usual…
We review studies of vibrational energy transfer in a molecular junction geometry, consisting of a molecule bridging two heat reservoirs, solids or large chemical compounds. This setup is of interest for applications in molecular…
The interplay between exctions and vibrations is considered to be a key factor in determining the exciton transfer properties in light-harvesting exciton transfer complexes. Here we study this interplay theoretically in a model for exciton…
We study kinetics of electrons, scattered by heavy particles undergoing slow diffusive motion. In a three-dimensional space we claim the existence of the crossover region (on the energy axis), which separates the states with fast diffusion…
Representation of molecular vibrational degrees of freedom by independent harmonic oscillators, when describing electronic spectra or electronic excitation energy transport, raises unfavourable effects as vibrational energy relaxation…
Major advances in large-scale yeast two hybrid (Y2H) screening have provided a global view of binary protein-protein interactions across species as dissimilar as human, yeast, and bacteria. Remarkably, these analyses have revealed that all…
High-energy optical transitions in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides exhibit characteristics that are markedly distinct from those of lower-lying band-edge excitons. These differences arise from the involvement of electronic states…
