On practical applicability of the Jarzynski relation in statistical mechanics: a pedagogical example
R. C. Lua, A. Y. Grosberg
We suggest and discuss a simple model of an ideal gas under the piston to gain an insight into the workings of the Jarzynski identity connecting the average exponential of the work…
Under-knotted and Over-knotted Polymers: Unrestricted Loops
N. T. Moore, R. Lua, A. Y. Grosberg
We present computer simulations to examine probability distributions of gyration radius for the no-thickness closed polymers of N straight segments of equal length. We are particul…
Under-knotted and over-knotted polymers: compact self-avoiding loops
R. C. Lua, N. T. Moore, A. Yu. Grosberg
We present a computer simulation study of the compact self-avoiding loops as regards their length and topological state. We use a Hamiltonian closed path on the cubic-shaped segmen…
Multiple point adsorption in a heteropolymer gel and the Tanaka approach to imprinting: Experiment and Theory
Kenji Ito, Jeffrey Chuang, Carmen Alvarez-Lorenzo +3
Heteropolymer gels can be engineered to release specific molecules into or absorb molecules from a surrounding solution. This remarkable ability is the basis for developing gel app…
Fractal and Statistical Properties of Large Compact Polymers: A Computational Study
Rhonald Lua, Alexander L. Borovinskiy, Alexander Yu. Grosberg
We propose a novel combinatorial algorithm for efficient generation of Hamiltonian walks and cycles on a cubic lattice, modeling the conformations of lattice toy proteins. Through…
Low temperature physics at room temperature in water: Charge inversion in chemical and biological systems
A. Yu. Grosberg, T. T. Nguyen, B. I. Shklovskii
We review recent advances in the physics of strongly interacting charged systems functioning in water at room temperature. We concentrate on the phenomena which go beyond the frame…
