Ion-dependent DNA Configuration in Bacteriophage Capsids
Pei Liu, Javier Arsuaga, M. Carme Calderer +3
Bacteriophages densely pack their long dsDNA genome inside a protein capsid. The conformation of the viral genome inside the capsid is consistent with a hexagonal liquid crystallin…
A One-Dimensional Variational Problem for Cholesteric Liquid Crystals with Disparate Elastic Constants
Dmitry Golovaty, Michael Novack, Peter Sternberg
We consider a one-dimensional variational problem arising in connection with a model for cholesteric liquid crystals. The principal feature of our study is the assumption that the…
Saturn ring defect around a spherical particle immersed in nematic liquid crystal
Stan Alama, Lia Bronsard, Dmitry Golovaty +1
We consider a nematic liquid crystal occupying the three-dimensional domain in the exterior of a spherical colloid particle. The nematic is subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions…
