Comparison of the energy histograms and conformations between different models of copolymers on lattice
Edward G. Timoshenko, Yuri A. Kuznetsov, Roman N. Basovsky
Based on large-scale Monte Carlo simulations on lattice the energy probability distribution functions are investigated for a large set of primary sequences in distinct models of co…
Self-consistent Treatment of Copolymers with Arbitrary Sequences
Yu. A. Kuznetsov, E. G. Timoshenko
Using the Gaussian Ansatz for the monomer-monomer correlation functions we derive a set of the self-consistent equations for determination of the conformational state in the bead-a…
A Study of Sequence Distribution of a Painted Globule as a Model for Proteins with Good Folding Properties
M-T. Kechadi, R. G. Reilly, K. A. Dawson +2
In this paper we present a method to study the folding structure of a simple model consisting of two kinds of monomers, hydrophobic and hydrophilic. This method has three main step…
Micellisation vs aggregation in dilute solutions of amphiphilic heteropolymers
E. G. Timoshenko, R. Basovsky, Yu. A. Kuznetsov
In recent experiments involving PNIPAM copolymers it has been observed that stable spherical nanoparticles are being formed by association of several chains in poor aqueous solutio…
Equilibrium and kinetics at the coil-to-globule transition of star and comb heteropolymers in infinitely dilute solutions
E. G. Timoshenko, Yu. A. Kuznetsov
By means of continuous space Monte Carlo simulation we study conformational structures formed by star and comb heteropolymers during kinetics of folding from the coil to the globul…
Conformations of amphiphilic diblock star copolymers
F. Ganazzoli, Yu. A. Kuznetsov, E. G. Timoshenko
We study conformations assumed by single diblock star copolymers in a poor solvent by means of the Gaussian variational theory and Monte Carlo simulation in continuous space. Cases…
