The properties of unfolded proteins have long been of interest because of their importance
to the protein folding process. Recently, the surprising prevalence of unstructured regions or …

It is currently unclear how the crowded cellular milieu affects the structural distributions of
intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). Here we employ single-molecule Förster resonance …

The cell is a crowded environment where a relevant fraction of the available space is
occupied by proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites. Here we discuss recent advancements …

A transparent conformation space renormalization group formalism is given which can
incorporate arbitrary molecular weight distributions to the theory of semi-dilute polymer …

Thermodynamics is an indispensable tool for developing a large and growing fraction of
new polymers and polymer blends. These two volumes show the researcher how …

Ten years ago Daoud and Cotton proposed a very elegant model for the static properties of
an isolated star-shaped polymer in a solvent of low molecular weight. Here we investigate …

Large-scale simulations of the swelling of a long N-mer in a melt of chemically identical P-
mers are used to investigate a discrepancy between theory and experiments. Classical …

We study the stability of a film of poly (dimethylsiloxane) with an oligomer as the solvent. On
a silanated Si− wafer, the solvent wets, but the polymer does not. We find that at all polymer …

By using a series of mixed solutions composed of styrene oligomers (PS N, 10< N< 550) and
toluene, this work explores how the macromolecule crowding effects, including viscosity …

As a first step toward the computer simulation of polydisperse polymeric melts, a lattice
model containing two types of chains with lengths N 1= 20− x and N 2= 20+ 4 x (0≤ x≤ 10) …
