Thermodynamic restrictions on evolutionary optimization of transcription factor proteins
Longhua Hu, Alexander Y. Grosberg, Robijn Bruinsma
Conformational fluctuations are believed to play an important role in the process by which transcription factor proteins locate and bind their target site on the genome of a bacter…

Metastable tight knots in a worm-like polymer
Alexander Y. Grosberg, Yitzhak Rabin
Based on an estimate of the knot entropy of a worm-like chain we predict that the interplay of bending energy and confinement entropy will result in a compact metastable configurat…

Heteropolymer Sequence Design and Preferential Solvation of Hydrophilic Monomers: One More Application of Random Energy Model
Longhua Hu, Alexander Y. Grosberg
In this paper, we study the role of surface of the globule and the role of interactions with the solvent for designed sequence heteropolymers using random energy model (REM). We in…
