Structure factor of dilute ring polymers
We consider ring polymers in good solvents in the dilute limit. We determine the structure factor and the monomer-monomer distribution function. We compute accurately the asymptotic behavior of these functions for small and large momenta and distances by using field-theoretical methods. Phenomenological expressions with the correct asymptotic behaviors are also given.
متن کاملStructure and dynamics of ring polymers
We study the equilibrium structure and dynamics of unconcatenated unknotted polymer rings in the melt. In accordance with earlier studies we find that rings in the melt are more compact than linear chains. We show that rings interpenetrate less and, perhaps as a result, diffuse faster than linear chains. Ring diffusion is faster for all ring sizes studied, the largest ring having numbers of mon...
متن کاملViscoelasticity of dilute solutions of semiflexible polymers.
We show using Brownian dynamics simulations and theory how the shear relaxation modulus G(t) of dilute solutions of relatively stiff semiflexible polymers differs qualitatively from that of rigid rods. For chains shorter than their persistence length, G(t) exhibits three time regimes: At very early times, when the longitudinal deformation is affine, G(t) approximately t(-3/4). Over a broad inte...
متن کاملSize distribution of ring polymers
We present an exact solution for the distribution of sample averaged monomer to monomer distance of ring polymers. For non-interacting and local-interaction models these distributions correspond to the distribution of the area under the reflected Bessel bridge and the Bessel excursion respectively, and are shown to be identical in dimension d ≥ 2, albeit with pronounced finite size effects at t...
متن کاملSingle-walled tubulin ring polymers.
An unusual class of nanoscopic, ring-shaped, single-walled biopolymers arises when alphabeta-tubulin is mixed with certain small peptides obtained from various marine organisms and cyanobacteria. The single-ring structures, whose mean molecular weight depends on the specific peptide added to the reaction mixture, usually have sharp mass distributions corresponding, e.g., to rings containing eig...
