The breadth of structure and function displayed by the molecules of biology is remarkable.
Considering that there are only three major biopolymer backbones (proteins, ribonucleic …

The theory of critical phenomena in systems at equilibrium is reviewed at an introductory
level with special emphasis on the values of the critical point exponents α, β, γ,..., and their …

The theory of the correlations and critical scattering of two-and three-dimensional nearest-
neighbor Ising models is discussed critically. A distinction is drawn between κ (T), the true …

We review the statistical mechanics of polymer solutions with reference to the theories of
scaling, current in the theory of phase transitions. Topics include the theoretical background …

The statistical mechanics of long flexible chains somewhat benefit from an analogy where a
chain configuration is interpreted as one path for a quantum mechanical particle. For …

If pn (r) is the probability density of self‐avoiding walks of m steps which reach the point r it is
proved rigorously that the generating function P (θ, r)=∑ n= 1∞ pn (r) exp (− nθ) decays …

A statistical‐mechanical model (a noninteracting local structure model) of folding and
unfolding transition in globular proteins is described and a formulation is given to calculate …

ABSTRACT; The compact conformations of polymers are important because they are the
principal con-figurations of the nativestates of globular proteins. We study the compact …

This book is an introduction to polymers that focuses on the synthesis, structure, and
properties of the individual molecules that constitute polymeric materials. The authors …
