Shapes of hydrophobic thick membranes
Trinh X. Hoang, Jayanth R. Banavar, Amos Maritan
We introduce and study the behavior of a tethered membrane of non-zero thickness embedded in three dimensions subject to an effective self-attraction induced by hydrophobicity aris…
Coil-globule transition of a homopolymer chain in a square-well potential: Comparison between Monte Carlo canonical replica exchange and Wang-Landau sampling
Artem Badasyan, Trinh Xuan Hoang, Rudolf Podgornik +1
We study the equilibrium properties of a flexible homopolymer where consecutive monomers are represented by impenetrable hard spheres that are tangent to each other, and non-consec…
Protein sequence and structure: Is one more fundamental than the other?
Jayanth R. Banavar, Trinh X. Hoang, Flavio Seno +2
We argue that protein native state structures reside in a novel "phase" of matter which confers on proteins their many amazing characteristics. This phase arises from the common fe…
