Theory of Markov chain copolymerization in terms of an intermonomer correlation coefficient and the arrangement of monomers along the polymer chain

Influence of sequence correlations on the adsorption of random heteropolymers onto homogeneous planar surfaces

“…A reference system perhaps more adequate to describe this case could be a multiblock -copolymer system with block lengths equal to the average length of A and B blocks in the random copolymers. In the lattice model, these are equal to s A = 1/[(1 − f A )(1 − c)] and s B = 1/[f A (1 − c)], respectively [25]). This could be interesting for future work.…”

Inequality Relations for Nmr-Based Polymer Homoblock Analysis and Extended Application: Reanalysis of Historical Data on Alginates, Chitosans, Homogalacturonans, and Galactomannans

“…Chain growth modeling is pivotal in enhancing the understanding of polymerization dynamics of carbohydrate polymers. The probability of chain extension by one monomer is determined by preceding monomer in a first-order Markov chain, by the preceding diad in a second-order Markov chain, and is independent of any preceding monomer or diad in a Bernoulli chain [9,11,12]. A validated model can be used for predicting functionrelated structure modifications such as C-5 epimerization of alginates, de-N-acetylation of chitins, and deesterification of homogalacturonans [9,13,14].…”

Conditional probability and correlation coefficient estimators for a first order Bernoulli process

“…Stribeck [5] used related modeling in the context of copolymerization. There appear to be no published results for the statistics of the estimator…”
