Influence of surface interactions on folding and forced unbinding of semiflexible chains
V. Barsegov, D. Thirumalai
We investigate the folding and forced-unbinding transitions of adsorbed semiflexible polymer chains using theory and simulations. These processes describe biologically relevant phe…

Thermal denaturation and folding rates of single domain proteins: size matters
Mai Suan Li, D. K. Klimov, D. Thirumalai
We analyze the dependence of thermal denaturation transition and folding rates of globular proteins on the number of amino acid residues, N. Using lattice Go models we show that De…

Two Landmarks in Polymer Physics: The Edwards Model and de Gennes Observation
D. Thirumalai
The impact of two landmark papers one by Edwards and the other by de Gennes on the field of polymer physics is highlighted.
