Field-extension statistics of charged semiflexible polymers stretched with uniform electric fields
Ananya Mondal, Greg Morrison
Single-molecule force-extension experiments have allowed quantitative measurements of the mechanical responses of biomolecules to applied forces explaining their roles in key biolo…
Scaling regimes for wormlike chains confined to cylindrical surfaces under tension
Greg Morrison, D. Thirumalai
We compute the free energy of confinement for a wormlike chain (WLC), with persistence length , that is confined to the surface of a cylinder of radius under a…
Compression-induced continuous phase transition in the buckling of a semiflexible filament for two and three dimensions
Ananya Mondal, Greg Morrison
The ability of biomolecules to exert forces on their surroundings or resist compression from the environment is essential in a variety of biologically relevant contexts. As has bee…
Compaction and tensile forces determine the accuracy of folding landscape parameters from single molecule pulling experiments
Greg Morrison, Changbong Hyeon, Michael Hinczewski +1
We establish a framework for assessing whether the transition state location of a biopolymer, which can be inferred from single molecule pulling experiments, corresponds to the ens…
Theoretical Perspectives on Protein Folding
D. Thirumalai, Edward P. O'Brien, Greg Morrison +1
Understanding how monomeric proteins fold under in vitro conditions is crucial to describing their functions in the cellular context. Significant advances both in theory and experi…
Semiflexible Chains in Confined Spaces
Greg Morrison, D. Thirumalai
We develop an analytical method for studying the properties of a non-interacting Wormlike Chain (WLC) in confined geometries. The mean field-like theory replaces the rigid constrai…
