Learning to Classify Threading in Melts of Rings
Filippo Conforto, Roman Staňo, Jan Smrek +1
Dense melts of nonconcatenated ring polymers exhibit anomalous dynamics and nonlinear rheology, in some cases linked to long-lived inter-ring threading entanglement. Detecting thes…
Multifractal Scaling in Hi-C Maps
Seong-Gyu Yang, Lucas Hedström, Jan Smrek +1
The three-dimensional organization of the genome exhibits rich, scale-dependent structure, as revealed by both chromosome contact maps (e.g., Hi-C maps) and chromatin density measu…
Actively induced supercoiling can slow down plasmid solutions by trapping the threading entanglements
Roman Staňo, Renáta Rusková, Dušan Račko +1
Harnessing the topology of ring polymers as a design motif in functional nanomaterials is becoming a promising direction in the field of soft matter. For example, the ring topology…
Entropic tug of war: Topological constraints spontaneously rectify the dynamics of a polymer with heterogeneous fluctuations
Adam H. T. P. Höfler, Iurii Chubak, Christos N. Likos +1
Polymers with active segments constitute prospective future materials and are used as a model for some biological systems such as chromatin. The directions of the active forces are…
Supercoiled ring polymers under shear flow
Christoph Schneck, Jan Smrek, Christos N. Likos +1
We apply monomer-resolved computer simulations of supercoiled ring polymers under shear, taking full account of the hydrodynamic interactions, accompanied, in parallel, by simulati…
Entanglement length scale separates threading from branching of unknotted and non-concatenated ring polymers in melts
Mattia Alberto Ubertini, Jan Smrek, Angelo Rosa
Current theories on the conformation and dynamics of unknotted and non-concatenated ring polymers in melt conditions describe each ring as a tree-like double-folded object. While e…
