We present results from our simulations of biopolymer translocation in a solvent which explain the main experimental findings. The forced translocation can be described by simple force balance arguments for the relevant range of pore…
During polymer translocation driven by e.g. voltage drop across a nanopore, the segments in the cis-side is incessantly pulled into the pore, which are then pushed out of it into the trans-side. This pulling and pushing polymer segments are…
The transport of polymers with folded configurations across membrane pores is investigated theoretically by analyzing simple discrete stochastic models. The translocation dynamics is viewed as a sequence of two events: motion of the folded…
We investigate the process of biopolymer translocation through a narrow pore using a multiscale approach which explicitly accounts for the hydrodynamic interactions of the molecule with the surrounding solvent. The simulations confirm that…
We employ 3D Langevin Dynamics simulations to study the dynamics of polymer chains translocating through a nanopore in presence of asymmetric solvent conditions. Initially a large fraction ($>$ 50%) of the chain is placed at the…
We investigate the translocation of stiff polymers in the presence of binding particles through a nanopore by two-dimensional Langevin dynamics simulations. We find that the mean translocation time shows a minimum as a function of the…
The translocation of a polymer through a pore in a membrane separating fluids of different viscosities is studied via several computational approaches. Starting with the polymer halfway, we find that as a viscosity difference across the…
We employ a three-dimensional molecular dynamics to simulate translocation of a polymer through a nanopore driven by an external force. The translocation is investigated for different three pore diameter and two different external forces.…
We study translocation of semiflexible polymers driven by force $f_d$ inside a nanometer-scale pore using our three-dimensional Langevin dynamics model. We show that the translocation time $\tau$ increases with increasing bending rigidity…
We investigate the effect of hydrodynamic interactions on the non-equilibrium drift dynamics of an ideal flexible polymer pulled by a constant force applied at one end of the polymer using the perturbation theory and the renormalization…
Polymer translocation through a nanopore in a membrane investigated theoretically. Recent experiments on voltage-driven DNA and RNA translocations through a nanopore indicate that the size and geometry of the pore are important factors in…
Polymer translocation has long been a topic of interest in the field of biological physics given its relevance in both biological (protein and DNA/RNA translocation through nuclear and cell membranes) and technological processes (nanopore…
We consider the dynamics of a translocation process of a flexible linear polymer through a nanopore into an environment of active rods in the {\it trans} side. Using Langevin dynamics simulations we find that the rods facilitate…
Motivated by identifying the origin of the bias dependence of tension propagation we investigate methods for measuring tension propagation quantitatively in computer simulations of driven polymer translocation. Here the motion of flexible…
Recent theoretical works exploring the hydrodynamics of soft material in non-equilibrium situations are reviewed. We discuss the role of hydrodynamic interactions for three different systems: i) the deformation and orientation of…
We discuss the temporal distribution of dynamic processes in driven polymer transport inherent to flexible chains due to stochastic tension propagation. The stochasticity originates from the disordered initial configuration of an…
We investigate the translocation dynamics of a folded linear polymer which is pulled through a nanopore by an external force. To this end, we generalize the iso-flux tension propagation (IFTP) theory for end-pulled polymer translocation to…
We investigate the voltage-driven translocation of an inhomogeneously charged polymer through a nanopore by utilizing discrete and continuous stochastic models. As a simplified illustration of the effect of charge distribution on…
Langevin Dynamics simulations of polymer translocation are performed where the polymer is stretched via two opposing forces applied on the first and last monomer before and during translocation. In this setup, polymer translocation is…
Numerical results on the translocation of long biopolymers through mid-sized and wide pores are presented. The simulations are based on a novel methodology which couples molecular motion to a mesoscopic fluid solvent. Thousands of events of…
