Continuous Model for Homopolymers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the model for the distribution of a long homopolymer in a potential field. The typical shape of the polymer depends on the temperature parameter. We show that at a critical value of the temperature the transition occurs from a globular to an extended phase. For various values of the temperature, including those at or near the critical value, we consider the limiting behavior of the polymer when its size tends to infinity. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification Numbers: 82B26, 82B27, 82D60, 35K10.

Evidence that the specificity of iron incorporation into homopolymers of human ferritin L- and H-chains is conferred by the nucleation and ferroxidase centres.
Mammalian ferritins are iron-storage proteins made of 24 subunits of two types: the H- and L-chains. L-chains, in contrast with H-chains, lack detectable ferroxidase activity. When ferritins were subjected to iron loading in vitro with increments near the saturation limit of 4000 Fe atoms per molecule, the homopolymers of human H-chains formed insoluble aggregates, caused by non-specific iron h...
متن کاملPyroHMMsnp: an SNP caller for Ion Torrent and 454 sequencing data
Both 454 and Ion Torrent sequencers are capable of producing large amounts of long high-quality sequencing reads. However, as both methods sequence homopolymers in one cycle, they both suffer from homopolymer uncertainty and incorporation asynchronization. In mapping, such sequencing errors could shift alignments around homopolymers and thus induce incorrect mismatches, which have become a crit...
متن کاملModel-Based Linear Control of Polymerization Reactors
This work addresses the design and performance evaluation of a control system for a class of continuous stirred tank reactors to produce homopolymers via free radicals. The control system claims to be of practical implementation in the sense that: (i) it manages both measurement types existing in this class of processes: continuous-instantaneous, and discrete-delayed with a periodic sampling-ti...
متن کاملStabilization of Inverse Miniemulsions by Silyl-Protected Homopolymers
Inverse (water-in-oil) miniemulsions are an important method to encapsulate hydrophilic payloads such as oligonucleotides or peptides. However, the stabilization of inverse miniemulsions usually requires block copolymers that are difficult to synthesize and/or cannot be easily removed after transfer from a hydrophobic continuous phase to an aqueous continuous phase. We describe here a new strat...
متن کاملPhase Behavior of Ternary Homopolymer/Diblock Blends: Influence of Relative Chain Lengths
We study the phase behavior of ternary blends of Aand B-homopolymers and symmetric, or slightly asymmetric, AB-diblock copolymer as obtained from self-consistent field theory. We choose one value of the segregation in the weak to intermediate regime and determine the effects of varying the relative degrees of polymerization of the components. The diagrams we obtain, which contain the classical ...
