A close look at the conformational transitions of a helical polymer in its response to environmental stimuli

We present a study of the conformational transitions of a helical polymer by using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. With focus on the variation of the dihedral angles, we are able to obtain the monomer-level details of the response of the polymer chain to environmental stimuli (e.g., t...
