Statistical mechanics of DNA-nanotube adsorption
Shushanik Tonoyan, Davit Khechoyan, Yevgeni Mamasakhlisov +1
Attraction between the polycyclic aromatic surface elements of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and the aromatic nucleotides of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) leads to reversible adsorption (ph…
From polymers to proteins: effect of side chains and broken symmetry in the formation of secondary structures within a Wang-Landau approach
Tatjana Škrbić, Artem Badasyan, Trinh Xuan Hoang +2
We study the equilibrium properties of a single flexible homopolymers where consecutive monomers are represented by impenetrable hard spherical beads tangential to each other, and…
Coil-globule transition of a homopolymer chain in a square-well potential: Comparison between Monte Carlo canonical replica exchange and Wang-Landau sampling
Artem Badasyan, Trinh Xuan Hoang, Rudolf Podgornik +1
We study the equilibrium properties of a flexible homopolymer where consecutive monomers are represented by impenetrable hard spheres that are tangent to each other, and non-consec…
Competition for hydrogen bond formation in the helix-coil transition and protein folding
Artem Badasyan, Shushanik A. Tonoyan, Yevgeni Sh. Mamasakhlisov +3
The problem of the helix-coil transition of biopolymers in explicit solvents, like water, with the ability for hydrogen bonding with solvent is addressed analytically using a suita…
Microscopic formulation of the Zimm-Bragg model for the helix-coil transition
A. V. Badasyan, A. Giacometti, Y. Sh. Mamasakhlisov +2
A microscopic spin model is proposed for the phenomenological Zimm-Bragg model for the helix-coil transition in biopolymers. This model is shown to provide the same thermophysical…
