Effect of Bending Rigidity on the Knotting of a Polymer under Tension
[Image: see text] A coarse-grained computational model is used to investigate how the bending rigidity of a polymer under tension affects the formation of a trefoil knot. Thermodynamic integration techniques are applied to demonstrate that the free-energy cost of forming a knot has a minimum at nonz...
