Overwinding in a stochastic model of an extended polymer
- 1. Research Center for Theoretical Physics, Central Visayan Institute Foundation, Jagna, Bohol 6308 (Philippines)
Description
We evaluate explicit expressions of length-dependent winding configuration probabilities for a biopolymer. The stochastic model incorporates several experimentally observed features. In particular, it exhibits overwinding under stretching forces until a critical length of the polymer is reached
