abstract = {We consider a long, semiflexible polymer with persistence
length P and contour length L fluctuating in a narrow
cylindrical channel of diameter D. In the regime D < P < L
the free energy of confinement Delta F and the length of the
channel R-parallel to occupied by the polymer are given by
Odijk's relations Delta F/R-parallel
to=A(o)k(B)TP(-1/3)D(-2/3) and R-parallel
to=L[1-alpha(o)(D/P)(2/3)], where A(o) and alpha(o) are
dimensionless amplitudes. Using a simulation algorithm
inspired by the pruned enriched Rosenbluth method, which
yields results for very long polymers, we determine A(o) and
alpha(o) and the analogous amplitudes for a channel with a
rectangular cross section. For a semiflexible polymer
confined to the surface of a cylinder, the corresponding
amplitudes are derived with an exact analytic approach. The
results are relevant for interpreting experiments on
biopolymers in microchannels or microfluidic devices.},
