Overlap properties and adsorption transition of two Hamiltonian paths
S. Franz, T. Garel, H. Orland
We consider a model of two (fully) compact polymer chains, coupled through an attractive interaction. These compact chains are represented by Hamiltonian paths (HP), and the coupli…
Collapse transitions of a periodic hydrophilic hydrophobic chain
E. Orlandini, T. Garel
We study a single self avoiding hydrophilic hydrophobic polymer chain, through Monte Carlo lattice simulations. The affinity of monomer for water is characterized by a (scalar)…
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…
Directed polymers in a random medium: a variational approach
T. Garel, H. Orland
A disorder-dependent Gaussian variational approach is applied to the problem of a dimensional polymer chain in a random medium (or potential). Two classes of variational soluti…
