On the Adsorption of Two-State Polymers
Natsuhiko Yoshinaga, Efim Kats, Avraham Halperin
Monte Carlo(MC) simulations produce evidence that annealed copolymers incorporating two interconverting monomers, P and H, adsorb as homopolymers with an effective adsorption energ…
Hybridization Isotherms of DNA Microarrays and the Quantification of Mutation Studies
Avraham Halperin, Arnaud Buhot, Ekaterina B. Zhulina
Background: Diagnostic DNA arrays for detection of point mutations as markers for cancer usually function in the presence of a large excess of wild type DNA. This excess can give r…
Self-Consistent Field Theory of Brushes of Neutral Water-Soluble Polymers
Vladimir A. Baulin, Ekaterina B. Zhulina, Avi Halperin
The Self-Consistent Field theory of brushes of neutral water-soluble polymers described by two-state models is formulated in terms of the effective Flory interaction parameter $χ_{…
Concentration Dependence of the Flory Chi Parameter within Two-State Models
V. A. Baulin, A. Halperin
The Flory chi parameter is typically assumed to depend only on the temperature, T. Experimental results often require the replacement of this chi(T) by chieff, that depends also on…
On the Extension Behavior of Helicogenic Polypeptides
Arnaud Buhot, Avraham Halperin
The force laws governing the extension behavior of homopolypeptides are obtained from a phenomenological free energy capable of describing the helix-coil transition. Just above the…
Grafted Rods: A Tilting Phase Transition
F. Schmid, D. Johannsmann, A. Halperin
A tilting phase transition is predicted for systems comprising rod like molecules which are irreversibly grafted to a flat surface, so that the non interacting rods are perpendicul…
