Interaction potentials for soft and hard ellipsoids
R. Everaers, M. R. Ejtehadi
Using results from colloid science we derive interaction potentials for computer simulations of mixtures of soft or hard ellipsoids of arbitrary shape and size. Our results are in…
Equilibration of Long Chain Polymer Melts in Computer Simulations
Rolf Auhl, Ralf Everaers, Gary S. Grest +2
Several methods for preparing well equilibrated melts of long chains polymers are studied. We show that the standard method in which one starts with an ensemble of chains with the…
Modeling DNA Structure, Elasticity and Deformations at the Base-pair Level
Boris Mergell, Mohammad R. Ejtehadi, Ralf Everaers
We present a generic model for DNA at the base-pair level. We use a variant of the Gay-Berne potential to represent the stacking energy between neighboring base-pairs. The sugar-ph…
The physics of chromatin
Helmut Schiessel
Recent progress has been made in the understanding of the physical properties of chromatin -- the dense complex of DNA and histone proteins that occupies the nuclei of plant and an…
