Apex Exponents for Polymer--Probe Interactions
Michael Slutsky, Roya Zandi, Yacov Kantor +1
We consider self-avoiding polymers attached to the tip of an impenetrable probe. The scaling exponents and , characterizing the number of configurations for the attachme…
Statistics of lines of natural images and implications for visual detection
Ha Youn Lee, Mehran Kardar
As borders between different regions, lines are an important element of natural images. Already at the level of the mammalian primary visual cortex (V1), neurons respond best to li…
Untangling influences of hydrophobicity on protein sequences and structures
Mehdi Yahyanejad, Christopher B. Burge, Mehran Kardar
We fit the Fourier transforms of solvent accessibility and hydrophobicity profiles of a representative set of proteins to a joint multi-variable Gaussian. This allows us to separat…
The long reach of DNA sequence heterogeneity in diffusive processes
Michael Slutsky, Mehran Kardar, Leonid A. Mirny
Many biological processes involve one dimensional diffusion over a correlated inhomogeneous energy landscape with a correlation length . Typical examples are specific protein…
Knot Probability for Self-Avoiding Loops on a Cubic Lattice
Yacov Kantor, Mehran Kardar
We investigate the probability for appearance of knots in self-avoiding loops (SALs) on a cubic lattice. A set of N-step loops is generated by attempting to combine pairs of (N/2)-…
