摘要
We present a hybrid Brownian dynamics / Monte Carlo algorithm for simulating solutions of highly entangled semiflexible polymers or filaments. The algorithm combines a Brownian dynamics time-stepping approach with an efficient scheme for rejecting moves that cause chains to cross or that lead to excluded volume overlaps. The algorithm allows simulation of the limit of infinitely thin but uncrossable threads, and is suitable for simulating the conditions obtained in experiments on solutions of long actin protein filaments.
