Semiflexible polymer in a uniform force field in two dimensions.
The conformational properties of a semiflexible polymer chain, anchored at one end in a uniform force field, are studied in a simple two-dimensional model. Recursion relations are derived for the partition function and then iterated numerically. We calculate the angular fluctuations of the polymer about the direction of the force field and the average polymer configuration as functions of the b...
متن کاملBuckling a Semiflexible Polymer Chain under Compression
Instability and structural transitions arise in many important problems involving dynamics at molecular length scales. Buckling of an elastic rod under a compressive load offers a useful general picture of such a transition. However, the existing theoretical description of buckling is applicable in the load response of macroscopic structures, only when fluctuations can be neglected, whereas mem...
متن کاملElasticity of semiflexible polymers in two dimensions.
We study theoretically the entropic elasticity of a semiflexible polymer, such as DNA, confined to two dimensions. Using the worm-like-chain model we obtain an exact analytical expression for the partition function of the polymer pulled at one end with a constant force. The force-extension relation for the polymer is computed in the long chain limit in terms of Mathieu characteristic functions....
متن کاملFluctuations of a long, semiflexible polymer in a narrow channel.
We consider an inextensible, semiflexible polymer or wormlike chain, with persistence length P and contour length L, fluctuating in a cylindrical channel of diameter D. In the regime D< occupied by the polymer and the mean-square deviation from the average vary as =[1-α(∘)(D/P)(2/3)]L and <Δ...
متن کاملChain self-assembly and phase transitions in semiflexible polymer systems
We present a phenomenological theory of the interplay between linear self-assembly, isotropic attractions, and orientation-dependent repulsions in determining the phase behavior of particles that reversibly polymerize into semiflexible chains. Important examples of such linearly aggregating systems include many proteins, micelles, and dipolar fluids. Four classes of phase diagrams are predicted...
