Lattice Boltzmann Algorithm for three-dimensional liquid crystal hydrodynamics
C. Denniston, D. Marenduzzo, E. Orlandini +1
We describe a lattice Boltzmann algorithm to simulate liquid crystal hydrodynamics in three dimensions. The equations of motion are written in terms of a tensor order parameter. Th…

Thermodynamics of DNA packaging inside a viral capsid: the role of DNA intrinsic thickness
Davide Marenduzzo, Cristian Micheletti
We characterize the equilibrium thermodynamics of a thick polymer confined in a spherical region of space. This is used to gain insight into the DNA packaging process. The experime…

Geometry of compact tubes and protein structures
J. R. Banavar, A. Flammini, D. Marenduzzo +2
Proteins form a very important class of polymers. In spite of major advances in the understanding of polymer science, the protein problem has remained largely unsolved. Here, we sh…
