Smectic Layering: Landau theory for a complex-tensor order parameter
Jack Paget, Una Alberti, Marco G. Mazza +2
Composed of microscopic layers that stack along one direction while maintaining fluid-like positional disorder within layers, smectics are excellent systems for exploring topology,…
Force-Extension for DNA in a Nanoslit: Using an Effective Dimensionality to Map between the 3D and 2D Limits
Hendrick W. de Haan, Tyler N. Shendruk
The force-extension relation for a semi-flexible polymer such as DNA confined in a nanoslit is investigated and it is found that both the effective persistence length and the form…
Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Depletion-Induced Interactions for Soft Matter Systems
Tyler N. Shendruk, Martin Bertrand, James L. Harden +2
Given the ubiquity of depletion effects in biological and other soft matter systems, it is desirable to have coarse-grained Molecular Dynamics simulation approaches appropriate for…
Simulating the Entropic Collapse of Coarse-Grained Chromosomes
Tyler N. Shendruk, Martin Bertrand, Hendrick W. de Haan +2
Depletion forces play a role in the compaction and de-compation of chromosomal material in simple cells but it remains debatable whether they are sufficient to account for chromoso…
