Twist dynamics of semiflexible polymer
– A number of strange results have been reported for the twist elasticity of a semiflexible filament, actin. In particular dynamic and static methods for determining the torsional twist modulus give very different results. I show here that internal losses (friction) in a semiflexible filament could be an important cause of dissipation and that the interpretation of dynamic experiments should be...
متن کاملDynamics of semiflexible scale-free polymer networks.
Scale-free networks are structures, whose nodes have degree distributions that follow a power law. Here we focus on the dynamics of semiflexible scale-free polymer networks. The semiflexibility is modeled in the framework of [M. Dolgushev and A. Blumen, J. Chem. Phys. 131, 044905 (2009)], which allows for tree-like networks with arbitrary architectures to include local constrains on bond orient...
متن کاملA Multicanonical Molecular Dynamics Study on a Simple Bead-Spring Model for Protein Folding
We have performed a multicanonical molecular dynamics simulation on a simple model protein. We have studied a model protein composed of charged, hydrophobic, and neutral spherical bead monomers. Since the hydrophobic interaction is considered to significantly affect protein folding, we particularly focus on the competition between effects of the Coulomb interaction and the hydrophobic interacti...
متن کاملQuantitative tube model for semiflexible polymer solutions.
We develop an analytical and quantitative theory of the tube model concept for entangled networks of semiflexible polymers. The absolute value of the tube diameter L perpendicular is derived as a function of the polymers' persistence length lp and mesh size xi of the network. To leading order, we find L perpendicular = 0.31xi 6/5 lp (-1/5) , which is consistent with known asymptotic scaling law...
متن کاملBrownian dynamics algorithm for bead-rod semiflexible chain with anisotropic friction.
A model of semiflexible bead-rod chain with anisotropic friction can mimic closely the hydrodynamics of a slender filament. We present an efficient algorithm for Brownian dynamics simulations of this model with configuration dependent anisotropic bead friction coefficients. The algorithm is an extension of that given previously for the case of configuration independent isotropic friction coeffi...
