(a) Comparison between the Gaussian chain and the freely-rotating chain model. (b) Comparison between the independent energy chain model and the Gaussian chain model. (c) Comparison between the interdependent pairwise energy chain model (polyalanine) and the Gaussian chain model. In all cases, the number of links is set to be 128. It shows that when the length of polymer chain is very long, then the freely-rotating chain model, the independent energy chain model, and the interdependent pairwise energy chain model all become the same as the Gaussian chain.
