Kinetics of Loop Formation in Polymer Chains
Ngo Minh Toan, Greg Morrison, Changbong Hyeon +1
We investigate the kinetics of loop formation in flexible ideal polymer chains (Rouse model), and polymers in good and poor solvents. We show for the Rouse model, using a modificat…
Stretching Homopolymers
Greg Morrison, Changbong Hyeon, N. M. Toan +2
Force induced stretching of polymers is important in a variety of contexts. We have used theory and simulations to describe the response of homopolymers, with monomers, to forc…
Depletion effects and loop formation in self-avoiding polymers
N. M. Toan, D. Marenduzzo, P. R. Cook +1
Langevin dynamics is employed to study the looping kinetics of self-avoiding polymers both in ideal and crowded solutions. A rich kinetics results from the competition of two crowd…
Inferring the effective thickness of polyelectrolytes from stretching measurements at various ionic strengths: applications to DNA and RNA
Ngo Minh Toan, Cristian Micheletti
By resorting to the thick-chain model we discuss how the stretching response of a polymer is influenced by the self-avoidance entailed by its finite thickness. The characterization…
Inferring the diameter of a biopolymer from its stretching response
Ngo Minh Toan, Davide Marenduzzo, Cristian Micheletti
We investigate the stretching response of a thick polymer model by means of extensive stochastic simulations. The computational results are synthesized in an analytic expression th…
