On the existence of helical structures during the collapse of flexible homopolymers: A Wang-Landau study
Sid Ahmed Sabeur, Mounira Bouarkat, Fatima Hamdache
In this work, we report our results on the phase transition of a flexible homopolymer from a stretched chain to a compact globule. The Wang-landau method is used to study the therm…

Kinetically driven helix formation during the homopolymer collapse process
Sid Ahmed Sabeur, Fatima Hamdache, Friederike Schmid
Using Langevin simulations, we find that simple 'generic' bead-and-spring homopolymer chains in a sufficiently bad solvent spontaneously develop helical order during the process of…
