Hierarchical Chain Model of Spider Capture Silk Elasticity
Haijun Zhou, Yang Zhang
Spider capture silk is a biomaterial with both high strength and high elasticity, but the structural design principle underlying these remarkable properties is still unknown. It wa…

Pulling hairpinned polynucleotide chains: Does base-pair stacking interaction matter?
Haijun Zhou, Yang Zhang
Force-induced structural transitions both in relatively random and in designed single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) chains are studied theoretically. At high salt conditions, ssDNA forms co…

Bending and Base-Stacking Interactions in Double-Stranded Semiflexible Polymer
Zhou Haijun, Ou-Yang Zhong-can
Simple expressions for the bending and the base-stacking energy of double-stranded semiflexible biopolymers (such as DNA and actin) are derived. The distribution of the folding ang…
