Universal features of polymer shapes in crowded environment
arXiv:1003.1856 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2010.03.037
Abstract
We study the universal characteristics of the shape of a polymer chain in an environment with correlated structural obstacles, applying the field-theoretical renormalization group approach. Our results qualitatively indicate an increase of the asymmetry of the polymer shape in crowded environment comparing with the pure solution case.
