Influence of Rigidity and Knot Complexity on the Knotting of Confined Polymers
[Image: see text] We employ computer simulations and thermodynamic integration to analyze the effects of bending rigidity and slit confinement on the free energy cost of tying knots, ΔF(knotting), on polymer chains under tension. A tension-dependent, nonzero optimal stiffness κ(min) exists, for whic...
