ewlc_marko_siggia_force(name)

Marko Siggia’s Worm-like Chain model with force as the dependent variable.

Modified Marko Siggia’s Worm-like Chain model. Modification of Marko-Siggia formula [1] to incorporate enthalpic stretching. Has limitations similar to Marko-Siggia near F = 0.1 pN [2].

Parameters:

name (str) – Name for the model. This name will be prefixed to the model parameter names.
