Marko Siggia’s Worm-like Chain model with distance 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.
