Bethe approximation for a DNA-like self-avoiding walk model with variable solvent quality

Statistical Mechanics 2015-05-13 v1

Abstract

The phase diagram and critical behaviour of a simple toy model for DNA zipping/unzipping is examined in the framework of the Bethe approximation. The effects of solvent quality are included, and found to lead to a variety of different thermodynamic behaviours.
