The statistical thermodynamics of stretched multi-stranded biomolecules

Mechanical experiments on single polymers have provided force-displacement data for a number of species, including multi-stranded polymers such as DNA and collagen. The interpretation of this information at the mesoscale requires the use of statistical mechanics to calculate the free energies of var...
