lumicks.pylake.ewlc_odijk_force

ewlc_odijk_force(name)

Odijk’s Extensible Worm-Like Chain model with force as the dependent variable

Odijk’s Extensible Worm-Like Chain model [1] is useful for 10 pN < F < 30 pN [2]. Note that this implementation was analytically solved and is significantly faster than fitting the model obtained with lumicks.pylake.ewlc_odijk_distance("name").invert().

Parameters:

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