Yang-Lee zeros and the helix-coil transition in a continuum model of polyalanine by Alves, Nelson A.; Hansmann, Ulrich H. E. is a scholarly article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Yang-Lee zeros and the helix-coil transition in a continuum model of polyalanine about?

We calculate the Yang-Lee zeros for characteristic temperatures of the helix-coil transition in a continuum model of polyalanine. The distribution of these zeros differs from predictions of the Zimm-Bragg theory and supports recent claims that polyalanine exhibits a true phase transition. New estimates for critical exponents are presented and the relation of our results to the Lee-Yang theorem is discussed.
