Starting from a simple definition of stationary regime in first-order relaxation processes, we obtain that experimental results are to be fitted to a power-law when approaching the stationary limit. On the basis of this result we propose a…

Recently, a non-linear model of viscoelasticity based on Rational Extended Thermodynamics was proposed in [arXiv:2312.05116]. This theory extends the evolution of the viscous stress beyond the linear framework of the Maxwell model to the…

The autocorrelation function in many complex systems shows a crossover in the form of its decay: from stretched exponential relaxation (SER) at short times to power law at long times. Studies of the mechanisms leading to such multiple…

Logarithmic oscillations superimposed on a power-law trend appear in the behavior of various complex hierarchical systems. In this paper, we study the logarithmic oscillations of relaxation curves in p-adic diffusion models that are used to…

The nonexponential relaxation ocurring in complex dynamics manifested in a wide variety of systems is analyzed through a simple model of diffusion in phase space. It is found that the inability of the system to find its equilibrium state in…

Exponential relaxation to equilibrium is a typical property of physical systems, but inhomogeneities are known to distort the exponential relaxation curve, leading to a wide variety of relaxation patterns. Power law relaxation is related to…

An overview of theories related to vibrational energy relaxation (VER) in proteins is presented. VER of a selected mode in cytochrome c is studied using two theoretical approaches. One is the equilibrium simulation approach with quantum…

We present a simple nonlinear relaxation equation which contains the Debye equation as a particular case. The suggested relaxation equation results in power-law decay of fluctuations. This equation contains a parameter defining the…

We deal with a system of two coupled differential equations, describing the evolution of a first order phase transition. In particular, we have two non-linear parabolic equations: the first one is deduced from a balance law for entropy and…

We have exactly solved the relaxational dynamics of a model protein which possesses a kinetically perfect funnel-like energy landscape. We find that the dependence of the relaxation time, $\tau$, on the density of states (DOS) and the…

A scaling analysis within a model of hierarchically constrained dynamics is shown to reproduce the main features of non-exponential relaxation observed in kinetic studies of carbonmonoxymyoglobin.

The theory of biochemical processes needs simple but realistic models of phenomena underlying microscopic dynamics of proteins. Many experiments performed in the 1980s have demonstrated that within the protein native state, apart from usual…

Nuclear magnetic relaxation is widely used to probe protein dynamics. For decades, most analyses of relaxation in proteins have relied successfully on the model-free approach, forgoing mechanistic descriptions of motions. Model-free types…

A quantum theory on conformation-electron system is presented. Protein folding is regarded as the quantum transition between torsion states on polypeptide chain, and the folding rate is calculated by nonadiabatic operator method. The theory…

Mechanical stretching of six proteins is studied through molecular dynamics simulations. The model is Go-like, with Lennard-Jones interactions at native contacts. Low temperature unfolding scenarios are remarkably complex and sensitive to…

Prompted by results that showed that a simple protein model, the frustrated G\=o model, appears to exhibit a transition reminiscent of the protein dynamical transition, we examine the validity of this model to describe the low-temperature…

We investigate Brownian motion with diffusivity alternately fluctuating between fast and slow states. We assume that sojourn-time distributions of these two states are given by exponential or power-law distributions. We develop a theory of…

Normal mode analysis is a widely used technique for reconstructing conformational changes of proteins from the knowledge of native structures. In this Letter, we investigate to what extent normal modes capture the salient features of the…

Vibrational energy relaxation (VER) of a selected mode in cytochrome c (hemeprotein) in vacuum is studied using two theoretical approaches: One is the equilibrium simulation approach with quantum correction factors, and the other is the…

Complex systems such as protein conformational fluctuations and supercooled liquids exhibit a long relaxation time and are considered to posses multiple relaxation times. We analytically obtain the exact correlation function for stochastic…
