Protein self-entanglement modulates successful folding to the native state: A multi-scale modeling study
L. F. Signorini, C. Perego and R. Potestio, Protein self-entanglement modulates successful folding to the native state: A multi-scale modeling study, J. Chem. Phys. (2021) The computer-aided investigation of protein folding has greatly benefited from coarse-grained models, that is, simplified representations at a resolution level lower than atomistic, providing access to qualitative and quantitative details of …

Comparing equilibration schemes of high-molecular-weight polymer melts with topological indicators
L. Tubiana, H. Kobayashi, R. Potestio, B. Duenweg, K. Kremer, P. Virnau and K. Daoulas, Comparing equilibration schemes of high-molecular-weight polymer melts with topological indicators, Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter (2021) Recent theoretical studies have demonstrated that the behaviour of molecular knots is a sensitive indicator of polymer structure. Here, we use knots to verify …
