## 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
Results of experimental studies published since the last major review of excluded volume effects in biopolymer solutions in 1993 add to our appreciation of the scope and magnitude of such effects. Recent theoretical studies have improved incrementally our ability to understand and model excluded vol
## Abstract In the present work, we revisit the effect of macromolecular crowding on the sizes of flexible neutral polymer chains. Motivated by recent experimental measurements on crowding effects on neutral flexible polymers chains, we perform Monte Carlo simulations on a model system consisting o
The concept of excluded volume and possible effects of excluded volume on the reactivity of macromolecules in highly volume-occupied or "crowded" media are introduced and briefly summarized. Theoretical and experimental studies of the effect of crowding on protein folding and unfolding, and on the e
