Stretching of a polymer below the Theta point
D. Marenduzzo, A. Maritan, A. Rosa +1
The unfolding of a polymer below the point when pulled by an external force is studied both in d=2 on the lattice and in off lattice. A ground state analysis of finite le…

Helicase on DNA: A Phase coexistence based mechanism
Somendra M. Bhattacharjee, Flavio Seno
We propose a phase coexistence based mechanism for activity of helicases, ubiquitous enzymes that unwind double stranded DNA. The helicase-DNA complex constitutes a fixed-stretch e…

Force-induced unfolding of a homopolymer on fractal lattice: exact results vs. mean field predictions
D. Marenduzzo, A. Maritan, F. Seno
We study the force-induced unfolding of a homopolymer on the three dimensional Sierpinski gasket. The polymer is subject to a contact energy between nearest neighbour sites not con…
