What formula should I use to calculate the total energy of a linear polymer chain?
I am using the Bead-spring model to model a polymer chain.
Suppose, the polymer has 3 monomers in its chain:
$$\ce{A1-A2-A3}$$
And,
I can use the following formula to calculate the total Lennard-Jones ...

Where should I apply the harmonic spring function in the case of polymer simulation? [closed]
I need to simulate the off-lattice movement of a polymer chain in a 3D space using Monte Carlo simulation. Note this is not a simulation of polymer growth; rather this is about polymer movement/motion....
