Phase behaviour of semiflexible lattice polymers in poor-solvent solution: mean-field theory and Monte Carlo simulations

Davide Marcato, Achille Giacometti, Amos Maritan +1

We study a solution of interacting semiflexible polymers with curvature energy in poor-solvent conditions on the d-dimensional cubic lattice using mean-field theory and Monte Carlo…

Spatial organization of slit-confined melts of ring polymers with non-conserved topology: A lattice Monte Carlo study

Mattia Alberto Ubertini, Angelo Rosa

We present Monte Carlo computer simulations for melts of semiflexible randomly knotted and randomly concatenated ring polymers on the fcc lattice and in slit confinement. Through s…

Scaling properties of RNA as a randomly branching polymer

Domen Vaupotič, Angelo Rosa, Luca Tubiana +1

Formation of base pairs between the nucleotides of an RNA sequence gives rise to a complex and often highly branched RNA structure. While numerous studies have demonstrated the fun…

Topological analysis and the recovery of entanglements in polymer melts

Mattia Alberto Ubertini, Angelo Rosa

The viscous flow of polymer chains in dense melts is dominated by topological constraints whenever the single chain contour length, N, becomes larger than the characteristic scale…

Viral RNA as a branched polymer

Domen Vaupotič, Angelo Rosa, Rudolf Podgornik +2

Myriad viruses use positive-strand RNA molecules as their genomes. Far from being only a repository of genetic material, viral RNA performs numerous other functions mediated by its…

Bottom-up data integration in polymer models of chromatin organisation

Alex Chen Yi Zhang, Angelo Rosa, Guido Sanguinetti

Cellular functions crucially depend on the precise execution of complex biochemical reactions taking place on the chromatin fiber in the tightly packed environment of the cell nucl…
