Connecting polymer collapse and the onset of jamming

AT Grigas, A Fisher, MD Shattuck, CS O'Hern - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
Previous studies have shown that the interiors of proteins are densely packed, reaching
packing fractions that are as large as those found for static packings of individual amino-acid …

Gardner transition coincides with the emergence of jamming scalings in hard spheres and disks

Q Wang, D Pan, Y ** - arxiv preprint arxiv:2410.23797, 2024 - arxiv.org
The Gardner transition in structural glasses is characterized by full-replica symmetry
breaking of the free-energy landscape and the onset of anomalous aging dynamics due to …

[HTML][HTML] Protein folding as a jamming transition

AT Grigas, Z Liu, JA Logan, MD Shattuck, CS O'Hern - Ar**v, 2024 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Proteins fold to a specific functional conformation with a densely packed hydrophobic core
that controls their stability. We develop a geometric, yet all-atom model for proteins that …

K-core attack, equilibrium K-core, and kinetically constrained spin system

HJ Zhou - Chinese Physics B, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Kinetically constrained spin systems are toy models of supercooled liquids and amorphous
solids. In this Perspective, we revisit the prototypical Fredrickson-Andersen (FA) kinetically …

Shear-induced criticality in glasses shares qualitative similarities with the Gardner phase

N Oyama, H Mizuno, A Ikeda - Soft Matter, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
Although glass phases are ubiquitously found in various soft matter systems, we are still far
from a complete understanding of them. The concept of marginal stability predicted by …
