Stability of the helical configuration of an intrinsically straight semiflexible biopolymer inside a cylindrical cell
We examine the effects of the external force, torque, temperature, confinement, and excluded volume interactions (EVIs) on the stability of the helical configuration of an intrinsically straight semiflexible biopolymer inside a cylindrical cell. We find that to stabilize a helix, the confinement fro...
