Protein folding and heteropolymers
T. Garel, H. Orland, E. Pitard
We present a statistical mechanics approach to the protein folding problem. We first review some of the basic properties of proteins, and introduce some physical models to describe…

Protein folding, anisotropic collapse and blue phases
E. Pitard, T. Garel, H. Orland
We study a homopolymer model of a protein chain, where each monomer carries a dipole moment. To mimic the geometry of the peptidic bond, these dipoles are constrained to be locally…
