From a melt of rings to chromosome territories: The role of topological constraints in genome folding
Jonathan D. Halverson, Jan Smrek, Kurt Kremer +1
We review pro and contra of the hypothesis that generic polymer properties of topological constraints are behind many aspects of chromatin folding in eukaryotic cells. For that pur…
DNA-Programmed Mesoscopic Architecture
Jonathan D. Halverson, Alexei V. Tkachenko
We study the problem of the self-assembly of nanoparticles (NPs) into finite mesoscopic structures with a programmed local morphology and complex overall shape. Our proposed buildi…
Rheology of Ring Polymer Melts: From Linear Contaminants to Ring/Linear Blends
Jonathan D. Halverson, Gary S. Grest, Alexander Y. Grosberg +1
Ring polymers remain a major challenge to our current understanding of polymer dynamics. Experimental results are difficult to interpret because of the uncertainty in the purity an…
Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study of Nonconcatenated Ring Polymers in a Melt: II. Dynamics
Jonathan D. Halverson, Won Bo Lee, Gary S. Grest +2
Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to investigate the dynamic properties of melts of nonconcatenated ring polymers and compared to melts of linear polymers. The longest…
Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study of Nonconcatenated Ring Polymers in a Melt: I. Statics
Jonathan D. Halverson, Won Bo Lee, Gary S. Grest +2
Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to investigate the structural properties of melts of nonconcatenated ring polymers and compared to melts of linear polymers. The longe…
