Theory of biopolymer stretching at high forces
Ngo Minh Toan, D. Thirumalai
We provide a unified theory for the high force elasticity of biopolymers solely in terms of the persistence length, , and the monomer spacing, . When the force $f>\fh \sim…

Crowding effects on the structural transitions in a flexible helical homopolymer
Alexander Kudlay, Margaret S. Cheung, D. Thirumalai
We elucidate the structural transitions in a helical off-lattice homopolymer induced by crowding agents, as function of the number of monomers () and volume fraction () of…

Water-mediated interactions between hydrophobic and ionic species in cylindrical nanopores
S. Vaitheeswaran, G. Reddy, D. Thirumalai
We use Metropolis Monte Carlo and umbrella sampling to calculate the free energies of interaction of two methane molecules and their charged derivatives in cylindrical water-filled…
