Conformational State Hopping of Knots in Tensioned Polymer Chains
Copyright © 2019 American Chemical Society. We use Brownian dynamics simulations to study the conformational states of knots on tensioned chains. Focusing specifically on the 81 knot, we observe knot conformational state hopping and show that the process can be described by a two-state kinetic model...
