Dynamics of Polymer Decompression: Expansion, Unfolding and Ejection
Takahiro Sakaue, Natsuhiko Yoshinaga
The dynamics of polymer decompression, i.e., a process from compressed, compact state to the relaxed swoll en conformation, can be formally described as a {\it nonlinear diffusion}…

On the Adsorption of Two-State Polymers
Natsuhiko Yoshinaga, Efim Kats, Avraham Halperin
Monte Carlo(MC) simulations produce evidence that annealed copolymers incorporating two interconverting monomers, P and H, adsorb as homopolymers with an effective adsorption energ…

Folding and unfolding kinetics of a single semiflexible polymer
Natsuhiko Yoshinaga
We theoretically investigate the kinetics of the folding transition of a single semiflexible polymer. In the folding transition, the growth rate decrease with an increase in the nu…
