Topological Models for Open-Knotted Protein Chains Using the Concepts of Knotoids and Bonded Knotoids

Topological Models for Open-Knotted Protein Chains Using the Concepts of Knotoids and Bonded Knotoids

In this paper we introduce a method that offers a detailed overview of the entanglement of an open protein chain. Further, we present a purely topological model for classifying open protein chains by also taking into account any bridge involving the backbone. To this end, we implemented the concepts...
