Polymer chain stiffness versus excluded volume: A Monte Carlo study of the crossover towards the wormlike chain model
Hsiao-Ping Hsu, Wolfgang Paul, Kurt Binder
When the local intrinsic stiffness of a polymer chain varies over a wide range, one can observe both a crossover from rigid-rod-like behavior to (almost) Gaussian random coils and…
Conformational Studies of bottle-brush polymers absorbed on a flat solid surface
Hsiao-Ping Hsu, Wolfgang Paul, Kurt Binder
The adsorption of a bottle-brush polymer end-grafted with one chain end of its backbone to a flat substrate surface is studied by Monte Carlo simulation of a coarse-grained model,…
Two-state protein-like folding of a homopolymer chain
Mark P. Taylor, Wolfgang Paul, Kurt Binder
Many small proteins fold via a first-order "all-or-none" transition directly from an expanded coil to a compact native state. Here we study an analogous direct freezing transition…
