Semiflexible Polymers: Fundamental Theory and Applications in DNA Packaging
Much is understood about the behavior of perfectly flexible and perfectly rigid polymer chains; however, many polymers, for example DNA, are somewhere in between these two limiting cases. Such polymers are termed semiflexible, and their molecular elasticity can play a significant role in single-cha...
