二维无序、拉伸和半柔性生物聚合物

Disordered, stretched, and semiflexible biopolymers in two dimensions

Zicong Zhou, Bela Joos

摘要:

我们研究了二维半柔性生物聚合物的内禀序列依赖曲率的影响,该聚合物的内禀曲率具有短程相关性。我们精确地证明了当不受任何外力作用时,这样的系统等价于一个具有明确定义的内禀曲率和适当的重整化持久长度的系统。我们找到了等效系统的分布函数的精确表达式。然而,我们表明,这样的等效系统并不总是存在的聚合物受到的外力。我们发现,在外力作用下,序列无序效应取决于平均阶数、无序度和实验条件,如边界条件。此外,短至中等长度的生物聚合物可能比“等同系统”预期的更软或具有更小的表观持久长度。此外,在强拉伸力下并且对于长的生物聚合物,序列无序对于弹性是无关紧要的。最后,序列无序的影响可能取决于所考虑的量。

英文摘要:

We study the effects of intrinsic sequence-dependent curvature for a two dimensional semiflexible biopolymer with short-range correlation in intrinsic curvatures. We show exactly that when not subjected to any external force, such a system is equivalent to a system with a well-defined intrinsic curvature and a proper renormalized persistence length. We find the exact expression for the distribution function of the equivalent system. However, we show that such an equivalent system does not always exist for the polymer subjected to an external force. We find that under an external force, the effect of sequence-disorder depends upon the averaging order, the degree of disorder, and the experimental conditions, such as the boundary conditions. Furthermore, a short to moderate length biopolymer may be much softer or has a smaller apparent persistent length than what would be expected from the "equivalent system". Moreover, under a strong stretching force and for a long biopolymer, the sequence-disorder is immaterial for elasticity. Finally, the effect of sequence-disorder may depend upon the quantity considered.
