Remarks on homo- and hetero-polymeric aspects of protein folding
T. Garel
Different aspects of protein folding are illustrated by simplified polymer models. Stressing the diversity of side chains (residues) leads one to view folding as the freezing trans…
On the role of mismatches in DNA denaturation
T. Garel, H. Orland
In the framework of the Poland Scheraga model of DNA denaturation, we derive a recursion relation for the partition function of double stranded DNA, allowing for mismatches between…
A simple model for DNA denaturation
T. Garel, C. Monthus, H. Orland
Following Poland and Scheraga, we consider a simplified model for the denaturation transition of DNA. The two strands are modeled as interacting polymer chains. The attractive inte…
Copolymer at a selective interface and two dimensional wetting: a grand canonical approach
C. Monthus, T. Garel, H. Orland
We consider two different problems involving the localization of a single polymer chain: (i) a periodic copolymer at a selective fluid-fluid interface, with the upper (resp. l…
