Thermodynamically Stable Knots in Semiflexible Polymers
Wolfhard Janke, Suman Majumder, Martin Marenz +1
Semiflexible polymers are widely used as a paradigm for understanding structural phases in biomolecules including folding of proteins. Here, we compare bead-spring and bead-stick v…
Knots are Generic Stable Phases in Semiflexible Polymers
Suman Majumder, Martin Marenz, Subhajit Paul +1
Semiflexible polymer models are widely used as a paradigm to understand structural phases in biomolecules including folding of proteins. Since stable knots are not so common in rea…
Stabilization and Destabilization of Semiflexible Polymers Induced by Spherical Confinement
Martin Marenz, Johannes Zierenberg, Wolfhard Janke
Spherical confinement can act either stabilizing or destabilizing on the collapsed state of a semi-flexible polymer. General free-energy arguments suggest that the order of the unc…
Knots as Topological Order Parameter For Semi-Flexible Polymers
Martin Marenz, Wolfhard Janke
Using a combination of the replica-exchange Monte Carlo algorithm and the multicanonical method, we investigate the influence of bending stiffness on the conformational phases of a…
Aggregation of theta-polymers in spherical confinement
Johannes Zierenberg, Marco Mueller, Philipp Schierz +2
We investigate the aggregation transition of theta polymers in spherical confinement with multicanonical simulations. This allows for a systematic study of the effect of density on…
Simple flexible polymers in a spherical cage
M. Marenz, J. Zierenberg, H. Arkin +1
We report the results of Monte Carlo simulations investigating the effect of a spherical confinement within a simple model for a flexible homopolymer. We use the parallel tempering…
