Stretching short biopolymers by fields and forces
Yuko Hori, Ashok Prasad, Jane' Kondev
We study the mechanical properties of semiflexible polymers when the contour length of the polymer is comparable to its persistence length. We compute the exact average end-to-end…
Secondary Structures in Long Compact Polymers
Richard Oberdorf, Allison Ferguson, Jesper L. Jacobsen +1
Compact polymers are self-avoiding random walks which visit every site on a lattice. This polymer model is used widely for studying statistical problems inspired by protein folding…
Critical Dynamics of Dimers: Implications for the Glass Transition
Dibyendu Das, Greg Farrell, Jane' Kondev +1
The Adam-Gibbs view of the glass transition relates the relaxation time to the configurational entropy, which goes continuously to zero at the so-called Kauzmann temperature. We ex…
Elasticity of semiflexible polymers in two dimensions
Ashok Prasad, Yuko Hori, Jane' Kondev
We study theoretically the entropic elasticity of a semi-flexible polymer, such as DNA, confined to two dimensions. Using the worm-like-chain model we obtain an exact analytical ex…
