Coupling Transitions in Helical Polymers: The Case of the Helix-Coil and Coil-Globule Transitions
Vikas Varshney, Gustavo A. Carri
We explore the coupling between the helix-coil and coil-globule transitions of a helical polymer using Monte Carlo simulations. A very rich state diagram is found. Each state is ch…
A Monte Carlo Simulation Study of the Mechanical and Conformational Properties of Networks of Helical Polymers. I General Concepts
Gustavo A. Carri, Richard Batman, Vikas Varshney +1
We study the mechanical and conformational properties of networks of helical polymers with a combination of Monte Carlo simulations based on the Wang-Landau algorithm and the Three…
Statistical Mechanics of Semiflexible Polymer Chains from a new Generating Function
Marcelo Marucho, Leonardo Loureiro, Gustavo A. Carri
In this paper, we present a new approach to the Kratky-Porod Model (KP) of semiflexible polymers. Our solution to the model is based on the definition of a generating function whic…
Statistics of Semiflexible Polymer Chains and the Generalized Borel Transform
Marcelo Marucho, Gustavo A. Carri
In this paper, we present a new approach to the discrete version of the Wormlike Chain Model (WCM) of semiflexible polymers. Our solution to the model is based on a new computation…
