Coexistence of native and denatured phases in a single protein-like molecule
Rose Du, Alexander Yu. Grosberg, Toyoichi Tanaka
In order to understand the nuclei which develop during the course of protein folding and unfolding, we examine phase segregation of a single heteropolymer chain which occurs in equ…

Random walks in the space of conformations of toy proteins
Rose Du, Alexander Yu. Grosberg, Toyoichi Tanaka
Monte Carlo dynamics of the lattice 48 monomers toy protein is interpreted as a random walk in an abstract (discrete) space of conformations. To test the geometry of this space, we…

Unexpected scenario of glass transition in polymer globules: an exactly enumerable model
Rose Du, Alexander Yu. Grosberg, Toyoichi Tanaka +1
We introduce a lattice model of glass transition in polymer globules. This model exhibits a novel scenario of ergodicity breaking in which the disjoint regions of phase space do no…
