A copolymer chain consists of monomeric units of two different types A and B.
Coil-Globule Transition for Regular, Random and Specially Designed Copolymers: Monte Carlo Simulation and Self-Consistent Field Theory
Correspondingly we introduce three energy parameters for contacts between different monomeric units εAA , εAB , εBB , and also two parameters for interaction of monomeric units with solvent molecules εAS , εBS .

This is because the best one can do with this type of design is to shift the monomeric composition by the amount about K/N .
Heteropolymer Sequence Design and Preferential Solvation of Hydrophilic Monomers: One More Application of Random Energy Model
The energy of the dipole-dipole interaction per monomeric unit of 1.1 × 10−22 Joule was found to be far below the thermal energy per degree of freedom at room temperature.

Color online)(a) The spatial structure of one monomeric subunit of the FMO complex [16, 21].
Complex quantum network model of energy transfer in photosynthetic complexes
The initial state is taken to be a superposition state located at pigments 1 and 6. and pigment 3 is in the vicinity of the reaction center (RC). (b) The simplified network for the monomeric subunit of FMO.
Complex quantum network model of energy transfer in photosynthetic complexes
This self-similarity extends from the structure of a few monomeric repeat units to the size of the entire molecule, which is comprised of hundreds or thousands of monomers.
Biological and synthetic membranes: What can be learned from a coarse-grained description?
Clearly the chain dimensions depend on the chemical identity of the monomeric units in a very subtle manner, but for the description of the large scale properties a single, coarse-grained, parameter, the end-to-end distance, suffices.
Biological and synthetic membranes: What can be learned from a coarse-grained description?
For polymer solutions the relevant properties are the connectivity of the monomeric units along the backbone and the excluded volume interaction between monomeric units.
Biological and synthetic membranes: What can be learned from a coarse-grained description?
This concept also carries over to AB diblock copolymers which consist of two blocks composed of NA and NB , monomeric units.
Biological and synthetic membranes: What can be learned from a coarse-grained description?
The resultant implicit solvent models have enjoyed long-standing popularity in polymer physics where the behavior of polymers in solvents of different qualities often is described by polymers in vacuum with effective interactions between the monomeric units.
Biological and synthetic membranes: What can be learned from a coarse-grained description?
Particles repel each other via a soft core potential which defines the energy scale, ǫ, and the monomeric length scale, σ .
Biological and synthetic membranes: What can be learned from a coarse-grained description?
Here Re is the molecules’ end-to-end distance, N denotes the number of monomeric units (segments) per molecule and, ρ is the segment number density.
Biological and synthetic membranes: What can be learned from a coarse-grained description?
Within the range 0.2 > kB T /u0 > 0.08 the system crosses from a monomeric state to a significantly bonded state, with more than 80% of the bonds formed.
Connecting Irreversible to Reversible Aggregation: Time and Temperature
There is no need to introduce any additional element such as the log-normal distribution of monomeric friction coefficients in the RRM to explain the data.
