Resource summary
Nucleic Acids
Electromagnetic Force
Only relevant force for this scale
All intermolecular forces
Charge mediated
Attractive and Repulsive
F(r)=-(nCm1m2)/r^(n+1)
Long range interactions disappear for n>3
Lennard- Jones type potential graphs
Positive energy = Repulsive force
Negative energy = Attractive Force
Lennard- Jones: V(r)= -A/r^6 + B/r^12
Polymers
Made up of monomers
Joined via covalent bonds
Degree of polymization = number of monomers = N
Mass of polymer= Nm(mon)
Types
Homopolymers
Same monomer
Heteropolymer
Different monomers
Random
Block
Flexibility
Coil
Rod
Depends on length scale
Isomerisation
Isotatic
Chemical group always in same position
Syndiotactic
Chemical group swaps sides
Atactic
Chemical group in random positon
Topology
Linear
Ring
Branched
Molecular Conformations
Free Jointed Chain (FJC) Model
Mean squared value= Cn*n*l^2
Cn=Flory Characteristic Ratio – average of all Ci, converging for C∞
l= bond length
n= number of bond lengths
No correlations between all θij, and all θij allowable
Equivalent FJC
N=L^2/(
L= Contour length
