Human mutation field reveals an equilibrium-like structure with irreversible circulation
Isabella Caranzano, Daniel Maria Busiello, Stefano Priorelli +2
The evolution of DNA sequences can be viewed as stochastic dynamics on a high-dimensional discrete space, but it is unclear when empirical transition biases reduce to an effective…
Theory of associating polymers with annealed and quenched sticker disorder: Mean-field solution and phase behavior
Sofia Moschin, Achille Giacometti, Amos Maritan +1
We develop a density-functional theory for solutions of associating polymers where attractions among charged monomers (stickers) are represented by local binary degrees of freedom,…
Space-filling discrete helices
Jayanth R. Banavar, Achille Giacometti, Trinh X. Hoang +2
Proteins are linear chain molecules that play a central role in life and health. Protein native state folds are modular assemblies of space-filling building blocks of α-helices, \{…
Entropy of self-avoiding branching polymers: mean field theory and Monte Carlo simulations
Davide Marcato, Achille Giacometti, Amos Maritan +1
We study the statistics of branching polymers with excluded-volume interactions, by modeling them as single self-avoiding trees on a generic regular periodic lattice with coordinat…
Theory of polymers in binary solvent solutions: mean-field free energy and phase behavior
Davide Marcato, Achille Giacometti, Amos Maritan +1
We present a lattice model for polymer solutions, explicitly incorporating interactions with a bath of solvent and cosolvent molecules. By exploiting the well-known analogy between…
Phase behaviour and self-assembly of semiflexible polymers in poor-solvent solutions
Tobia Arcangeli, Tatjana Škrbić, Somiealo Azote +6
Using Langevin dynamics complemented by Wang-Landau Monte Carlo simulations, we study the phase behavior of single and multiple semiflexible polymer chains in solution under poor-s…
