Modelling RNA folding under mechanical tension.
We investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of RNA unfolding and refolding under mechanical tension. The hierarchical nature of RNA structure and the existence of thermodynamic parameters for base pair formation based on nearest-neighbour interactions allows modelling of sequence-dependent folding dynamics for any secondary structure. We calculate experimental observables such as the transit...
متن کاملMechanical Behavior of BFRP-Steel Composite Plate under Axial Tension
Combining the advantages of basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) material and steel material, a novel BFRP-steel composite plate (BSP) is proposed, where a steel plate is sandwiched between two outer BFRP laminates. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the mechanical behavior of the proposed BSP under uniaxial tension and cyclic tension. Four groups of BSP specimens with four d...
متن کاملMetamaterials: Snapping Mechanical Metamaterials under Tension (Adv. Mater. 39/2015).
By exploiting snap-through instabilities, D. Pasini and co-workers design a damage-tolerant mechanical metamaterial that snaps sequentially under tension, thereby accommodating a very large deformation up to 150%. On page 5931, they describe how the nonlinear mechanical response of the metamaterial can be robustly programmed by tuning the architecture of its unit cell.
متن کاملBiaxial mechanical properties of human ureter under tension.
PURPOSE The Mechanical properties of the ureteral wall may be altered by certain diseases such as megaureter. Ureter compliance and wall tension alterations can occur, leading to some abnormalities such as reflex mechanisms. Familiarizing with the mechanical properties of the ureter can help us advance in the understanding of urinary tract diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS A constitutive model ...
متن کاملAn experimentally guided umbrella sampling protocol for biomolecules.
We present a simple method for utilizing experimental data to improve the efficiency of numerical calculations of free energy profiles from molecular dynamics simulations. The method involves umbrella sampling simulations with restraining potentials based on a known approximate estimate of the free energy profile derived solely from experimental data. The use of the experimental data results in...
