Finite-temperature local protein sequence alignment: percolation and free-energy distribution

S Wolfsheimer, O Melchert, AK Hartmann

Sequence alignment is a tool in bioinformatics that is used to find homological relationships in large molecular databases. It can be mapped on the physical model of directed polym…

Fluctuating Interfaces in Liquid Crystals

Friederike Schmid, Guido Germano, Stefan Wolfsheimer +1

We review and compare recent work on the properties of fluctuating interfaces between nematic and isotropic liquid-crystalline phases. Molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation…

Minimum-Free-Energy Distribution of RNA Secondary Structures: Entropic and Thermodynamic Properties of Rare Events

S. Wolfsheimer, A. K. Hartmann

We study the distribution of the minimum free energy (MFE) for the Turner model of pseudoknot free RNA secondary structures over ensembles of random RNA sequences. In particular, w…

RNA Secondary Structures: Complex Statics and Glassy Dynamics

S. Wolfsheimer, B. Burghardt, A. Mann +1

Models for RNA secondary structures (the topology of folded RNA) without pseudo knots are disordered systems with a complex state-space below a critical temperature. Hence, a compl…

The isotropic-nematic interface in suspensions of hard rods: Mean-field properties and capillary waves

S. Wolfsheimer, C. Tanase, K. Shundyak +2

We present a study of the isotropic-nematic interface in a system of hard spherocylinders. First we compare results from Monte Carlo simulations and Onsager density functional theo…

Isotropic-nematic interfacial tension of hard and soft rods: application of advanced grand canonical biased sampling techniques

R. L. C. Vink, S. Wolfsheimer, T. Schilling

Coexistence between the isotropic and the nematic phase in suspensions of rods is studied using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations with a bias on the nematic order parameter.…
