Ion-Modulated Polyelectrolyte Complexation of DNA and Polyacrylic Acid from Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Sisem Ektirici, Vagelis Harmandaris, Christos N. Likos +1
The formation of complexes between like-charged polyelectrolytes challenges conventional electrostatic intuition and highlights the central role of ions in mediating macromolecular…
Locally tuned hydrodynamics of active polymer chains
Lisa Sappl, Christos N. Likos, Andreas Zöttl
We employ mesoscopic simulations to study active polymers in a solvent via multi-particle collision dynamics. We investigate linear chains in which either the head or tail monomer…
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…
Effects of linking topology on the shear response of connected ring polymers: Catenanes and bonded rings flow differently
Reyhaneh A. Farimani, Zahra Ahmadian Dehaghani, Christos N. Likos +1
We perform computer simulations of mechanically linked (poly[2]catenanes, PC) and chemically bonded (bonded rings, BR) pairs of self-avoiding ring polymers in steady shear. We find…
