Impact of loop statistics on the thermodynamics of RNA folding
Thomas R. Einert, Paul Näger, Henri Orland +1
Loops are abundant in native RNA structures and proliferate close to the unfolding transition. By including a statistical weight ~ l^{-c} for loops of length l in the recursion rel…
On the role of mismatches in DNA denaturation
T. Garel, H. Orland
In the framework of the Poland Scheraga model of DNA denaturation, we derive a recursion relation for the partition function of double stranded DNA, allowing for mismatches between…
The role of the energy gap in protein folding dynamics
Estelle Pitard, Henri Orland
The dynamics of folding of proteins is studied by means of a phenomenological master equation. The energy distribution is taken as a truncated exponential for the misfolded states…
Random Polyelectrolytes and Polyampholytes in Solution
I. Borukhov, D. Andelman, H. Orland
The behavior of polyelectrolytes and polyampholytes in semi-dilute solutions is investigated theoretically. Various statistical charge distributions along the polyelectrolyte chain…
The Effect of Polyelectrolyte Adsorption on Inter-Colloidal Forces
I. Borukhov, D. Andelman, H. Orland
The behavior of polyelectrolytes between charged surfaces immersed in semi-dilute solutions is investigated theoretically. A continuum mean field approach is used for calculating n…
