We study the diffusion of a linear polymer in the presence of permeable membranes without excluded volume interactions, using scaling theory and Monte Carlo simulations. We find that the average time it takes for a chain with polymerization…
We consider elongated cylindrical particles, modeling e.g. DNA fragments or nano-rods, while translocating under the action of an externally applied voltage through a solid state nanopore. Particular emphasis is put on the concomitant…
The theoretical formulation of driven polymer translocation through nanopores is complicated by the combination of the pore electrohydrodynamics and the nonequilibrium polymer dynamics originating from the conformational polymer…
Nobel metals that are deposited on a polymer surface exhibit surface diffusion and diffusion into the bulk. At the same time the metal atoms tend to form clusters because their cohesive energy is about two orders of magnitude higher than…
In this paper, diffusion in polymer solutions undergoing evaporation of solvent is modeled as a coupled heat and mass transfer problem with moving boundary condition within the framework of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The proposed…
We investigate a model of chaperone-assisted polymer translocation through a nanopore in a membrane. Translocation is driven by irreversible random sequential absorption of chaperone proteins that bind to the polymer on one side of the…
The impact of thermal fluctuations on the translocation dynamics of a polymer chain driven through a narrow pore has been investigated theoretically and by means of extensive Molecular-Dynamics (MD) simulation. The theoretical consideration…
The non-equilibrium dynamics of condensation phenomena in nano-pores is studied via Monte Carlo simulation of a lattice gas model. Hysteretic behavior of the particle density as a function of the density of a reservoir is obtained for…
Continuum Monte-Carlo simulations at constant pressure are performed on short chain molecules at surfaces. The rodlike chains, consisting of seven effective monomers, are attached at one end to a flat twodimensional substrate. It is found…
Most of the theoretical models describing the translocation of a polymer chain through a nanopore use the hypothesis that the polymer is always relaxed during the complete process. In other words, models generally assume that the…
We use an off - lattice bead - spring model of a self - avoiding polymer chain immersed in a 3-dimensional quenched random medium to study chain dynamics by means of a Monte - Carlo (MC) simulation. The chain center of mass mean-squared…
We study a solution of interacting semiflexible polymers with curvature energy in poor-solvent conditions on the d-dimensional cubic lattice using mean-field theory and Monte Carlo computer simulations. Building upon past studies on a…
We report on the short-time dynamics in colloidal mixtures made up of monomers and dimers highly confined between two glass-plates. At low concentrations, the experimental measurements of colloidal motion agree well with the solution of the…
One of the most fundamental quantities associated with polymer translocation through a nanopore is the translocation time $\tau$ and its dependence on the chain length $N$. Our simulation results based on both the bond fluctuation Monte…
The surface tension, the adsorption, and the depletion thickness of polymers close to a single nonadsorbing colloidal sphere are computed by means of Monte Carlo simulations. We consider polymers under good-solvent conditions and in the…
We study analytically a model of a two dimensional, partially directed, flexible or semiflexible polymer, attached to an attractive wall which is perpendicular to the preferred direction. In addition, the polymer is stretched by an…
We study the conformations of a self-avoiding polymer confined to a channel by computing the cross-sectional distributions of the positions of its monomers. By means of Monte-Carlo simulations for a self-avoiding, freely-jointed chain we…
We study the driven translocation of a semi-flexible polymer through a nanopore by means of a modified version of the iso-flux tension propagation theory (IFTP), and extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We show that in contrast to…
Polymer translocation in three dimensions out of planar confinements is studied in this paper. Three membranes are located at $z=-h$, $z=0$ and $z=h_1$. These membranes are impenetrable, except for the middle one at $z=0$, which has a…
We propose a method for the theoretical investigation of polymer translocation through composite pore structures possessing arbitrarily specified geometries. Translocation through each constituent part of the composite is treated as being…
