## Abstract In cells, proteins execute specific tasks in crowded environments; these environments influence their stability and dynamics. Similarly, for an enzyme molecule encapsulated in an inorganic cavity as in biosensors or biocatalysts, confinement or excluded volume plays an important role in
## Abstract **Summary:** The conformational behavior of flexible linear chain polymers confined in cylindrical pores and slab pores has been studied, employing a hardβbead chain model and a modification of a recently proposed recoilβgrowth bias Monte Carlo methodology, which improves the sampling e
## Abstract Macromolecular crowding is expected to have several significant effects on protein aggregation; the major effects will be those due to excluded volume and increased viscosity. In this report we summarize data demonstrating that macromolecular crowding may lead to a dramatic acceleration
