Topological Entanglement in Polymers, Proteins and Periodic Systems software
We introduce the Topological Entanglement in Polymers, Proteins and Periodic systems (TEPPP) software, that enables to compute the topological and geometrical complexity in such systems. In particular, this software enables the computation of the Writhe, the Average Crossing Number (ACN) and the Jones polynomial of each filament in the system, whether it is open or closed. In particular, the software uses rigorous definitions of the Writhe, ACN and of the Jones polynomial of linear (open) chains that do not require any closure scheme. The software also allows the computation of the Gauss linking integral for all pairs of chains (open or closed) in 3-space and in systems employing Periodic Boundary Conditions.
