Description:
Author(s): Alice von der Heydt, Daniel Wilkin, Panayotis Benetatos, and Annette Zippelius Aiming at the mechanical properties of cross-linked biopolymers, we set up and analyze a model of two weakly bending wormlike chains subjected to a tensile force, with regularly spaced inter-chain bonds (cross-links) represented by harmonic springs. Within this model, we compute the force-extension ... [Phys. Rev. E 88, 032701] Published Tue Sep 03, 2013
