High-symmetry ill-fitting subunits in 3D form aggregates of all dimensions
Elena N. Govorun, Martin Lenz
Proteins can combine into functional elements in living cells or self-assemble into unwanted structures in a number of diseases. The resulting aggregates often display filamentous…
pH-dependent interfacial rheology of polymer membranes assembled at liquid-liquid interfaces using hydrogen bonds
Julien Dupré de Baubigny, Corentin Tregouet, Elena N. Govorun +5
Self-assembly of polymers at liquid interfaces using non-covalent interactions has emerged as a promising technique to reversibly produce self-healing membranes. Besides the assemb…
Aggregation of hydrophobic-amphiphilic block copolymers
S. A. Pavlenko, E. N. Govorun
We analyze the aggregation of locally amphiphilic copolymers with blocky architecture and uniformly distributed amphiphilic moieties in terms of a mean-field theory. Locally amphip…
Growth of membranes formed by associating polymers at interfaces
Elena N. Govorun, Julien Dupré de Baubigny, Patrick Perrin +4
Polymer association at liquid-liquid interfaces is a promising way to spontaneously obtain soft self-healing membranes. In the case of reversible bonding between two polymers, the…
Conformation-dependent sequence design of polymer chains in melts
Elena N. Govorun, Ruslan M. Shupanov, Sophia A. Pavlenko +1
Conformation-dependent design of polymer sequences can be considered as a tool to control macromolecular self-assembly. We consider the monomer unit sequences created via the modif…
Microphase Separation in Random Multiblock Copolymers
E. N. Govorun, A. V. Chertovich
Microphase separation in random multiblock copolymers is studied with mean-field theory assuming that long blocks of a copolymer are strongly segregated, whereas short blocks are a…
Primary Sequences of Protein-Like Copolymers: Levy Flight Type Long Range Correlations
Elena N. Govorun, Victor A. Ivanov, Alexei R. Khokhlov +3
We consider the statistical properties of primary sequences of two-letter HP copolymers (H for hydrophobic and P for polar) designed to have water soluble globular conformations wi…
