System-Size Dependence of Helix-Bundle Formation for Generic Semiflexible Polymers
Copyright policy )System-Size Dependence of Helix-Bundle Formation for Generic Semiflexible Polymers
Helical polymer bundles are an important fixture in biomolecular systems. The particular structural geometry of helix bundles is dependent on many factors including the length of the polymer chain. In this study, we performed Monte Carlo simulations of a coarse-grained model for helical polymers to determine the influence of polymer length on tertiary structure formation. Helical structures of semiflexible polymers are analyzed for several chain lengths under thermal conditions. Structural hyperphase diagrams, parametrized by torsion strength and temperature, are constructed and compared.
