Actin, a model semi-flexible polymer
Actin is a filamentary protein which has many remarkable properties making it an ideal system for the study of the dynamics and mechanics of semi-flexible polymer solutions and gels; actin has a persistence length of over 10 microns and can polymerize to lengths of several tens of microns, this permits the use of video microscopy and other optical methods in the study polymer dynamics. Many ass...
متن کاملBethe Approximation for a Semi-flexible Polymer Chain
We present a Bethe approximation to study lattice models of linear polymers. The approach is variational in nature and based on the cluster variation method (CVM). We focus on a model with (i) a nearest neighbor attractive energy ǫv between pair of non–bonded monomers, (ii) a bending energy ǫh for each pair of successive chain segments which are not collinear. We determine the phase diagram of ...
متن کاملPhase Transitions of Single Semi-stiff Polymer Chains
We study numerically a lattice model of semiflexible homopolymers with nearest neighbor attraction and energetic preference for straight joints between bonded monomers. For this we use a new Monte Carlo algorithm, the ‘Pruned-Enriched Rosenbluth Method’ (PERM). It is very efficient both for relatively open configurations at high temperatures, and for compact and frozen-in low-T states. This all...
متن کاملConformational Statistics of Semi-Flexible Macromolecular Chains with Internal Joints.
Fluctuations in the bending angles at internal irregularities of DNA and RNA (such as symmetric loops, bulges, and nicks/gaps) have been observed from various experiments. However, little effort has been made to computationally predict and explain the statistical behavior of semi-flexible chains with internal defects. In this paper, we describe the general structure of these macromolecular chai...
متن کاملSemi-flexible attracting-segment model of two-dimensional polymer collapse
Recently it has been shown that a two-dimensional model of self-attracting polymers based on attracting segments displays two phase transitions, a θ-like collapse between swollen polymers and a globular state and another between the globular state and a polymer crystal. On the other hand, the canonical model based on attracting monomers on lattice sites displays only one: the standard tricritic...
