On Myosin II dynamics in the presence of external loads (2005)
Buonocore, A., Caputo, L., Ishii, Y., Pirozzi, E., Yanagida, T., Ricciardi, L. M.
We address the controversial hot question concerning the validity of the loose coupling versus the lever-arm theories in the actomyosin dynamics by re-interpreting and extending the phenomenological...
A Phenomenological model of Myosin II dynamics in the presence of external loads (2004)
Buonocore, A., Caputo, L., Ishii, Y., Pirozzi, E., Yanagida, T., Ricciardi, L. M.
We address the controversial hot question concerning the validity of the loose coupling versus the lever-arm theories in the actomyosin dynamics by re-interpreting and extending the phenomenological...
Lever-arm and Washboard-potential theories jointly account for Myosin II dynamics (2004)
Buonocore, A., Caputo, L., Pirozzi, E., Ricciardi, L. M.
We address the controversial hot question concerning the validity of the loose-coupling versus the lever-arm models in the actomyosin dynamics by re-interpreting and extending the washboard potential...
Towards Dead Time Inclusion in Neuronal Modeling (2003)
Buonocore, A., Esposito, G., Giorno, V., Valerio, C.
A mathematical description of the refractoriness period in neuronal diffusion modeling is given and its moments are explicitly obtained in a form that is suitable for quantitative evaluations. Then,...
A stochastic model for the stepwise motion in actomyosin dynamics (2003)
Buonocore, A., Di Crescenzo, A., Martinucci, B., Ricciardi, L. M.
A jump-diffusion process is proposed to describe the displacements performed by single myosin heads along actin filaments during the rising phases. The process consists of the superposition of a...
A chemically driven fluctuating ratchet model for actomyosin interaction (2003)
Shimokawa, T., Sato, S., Buonocore, A., Ricciardi, L. M.
With reference to the experimental observations by T. Yanagida and his co-workers on actomyosin interaction, a Brownian motor of fluctuating ratchet kind is designed with the aim to describe the...
Power optimisation of distributed amplifiers (1990)
Buonocore, A., Giannini, F., Leuzzi, G.
A linear technique is described for the optimisation of output power and efficiency of travelling-wave amplifiers, together with guidelines for a practical computer-aided circuit design. The design...
