From Flexible to Stiff: Systematic Analysis of Structural Phases for Single Semiflexible Polymers

Inspired by recent studies revealing unexpected pliability of semiflexible biomolecules like RNA and DNA, we systematically investigate the range of structural phases by means of a simple generic polymer model. Using a two-dimensional variant of Wang-Landau sampling to explore the conformational spa...
