Polymer collapse in the presence of hydrodynamic interactions.

Eur Phys J E Soft Matter 9:1 (2002) 63-66

Authors:

N Kikuchi, A Gent, JM Yeomans

Abstract:

We investigate numerically the dynamical behaviour of a polymer chain collapsing in a dilute solution. The rate of collapse is measured with and without the presence of hydrodynamic interactions. We find that hydrodynamic interactions both accelerate polymer collapse and alter the folding pathway.

Radial distribution function of rod-like polyelectrolytes.

Eur Phys J E Soft Matter 9:1 (2002) 41-46

Authors:

R Zandi, J Rudnick, R Golestanian

Abstract:

We study the effect of electrostatic interactions on the distribution function of the end-to-end distance of a single polyelectrolyte chain in the rod-like limit. The extent to which the radial distribution function of a polyelectrolyte is reproduced by that of a wormlike chain with an adjusted effective persistence length is investigated. Strong evidence is found for a universal scaling formula connecting the effective persistence length of a polyelectrolyte with the strength of the electrostatic interaction and the Debye screening length.
