The transport of biomolecules across a cell membrane is an important phenomena that plays a pivotal role in the functioning of biological cells. In this paper, we investigate such processes by modeling the translocation of polymers through…
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…
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…
Using analytical techniques and Langevin dynamics simulations, we investigate the dynamics of polymer translocation through a nanochannel embedded in two dimensions under an applied external field. We examine the translocation time for…
We study the passage times of a translocating polymer of length $N$ in three dimensions, while it is pulled through a narrow pore with a constant force $F$ applied to one end of the polymer. At small to moderate forces, satisfying 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.…
Using continuous time Monte-Carlo method we simulated the translocation of a polynucleotide chain driven through a nanopore by an electric field. We have used two models of driven diffusion due to the electric field. The chain may have…
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 study the translocation process of a polymer in the absence of external fields for various pore diameters $b$ and membrane thickness $L$. The polymer performs Rouse and reptation dynamics. The mean translocation time $<\tau_t>$ that the…
In recent years polymer translocation, i.e., transport of polymeric molecules through nanometer-sized pores and channels embedded in membranes, has witnessed strong advances. It is now possible to observe single-molecule polymer dynamics…
We study the translocation of a flexible polymer through extended patterned pores using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We consider cylindrical and conical pore geometries that can be controlled by the angle of the pore apex $\alpha$.…
We study the translocation of a semiflexible polymer through a conical channel with attractive surface interactions and a driving force which varies spatially inside the channel. Using the results of the translocation dynamics of a flexible…
We perform two-dimensional Langevin dynamics simulations of electric-field driven polymer translocation through an attractive nanopore. We investigate the effect of the location of the attractive region using different pore patterns. This…
We construct a new statistical physical model of polymer translocation through a pore in a membrane treated as the diffusion process across a free energy barrier. We determine the translocation time in terms of chain flexibility yielding an…
Using two dimensional Langevin dynamics simulations, we investigate the dynamics of polymer translocation into a fluidic channel with diameter $R$ through a nanopore under a driving force $F$. Due to the crowding effect induced by the…
We consider the translocation of a one-dimensional polymer through a pore channel helped by a motor driven by a dichotomous noise with time exponential correlation. We are interested in the study of the translocation time, mean velocity and…
We consider a polymer of length $N$ translocating through a narrow pore in the absence of external fields. Characterization of its purportedly anomalous dynamics has so far remained incomplete. We show that the polymer dynamics is anomalous…
We investigate polymer translocation through a nanopore under a pulling force using Langevin dynamics simulations. We concentrate on the influence of the chain length $N$ and the pulling force $F$ on the translocation time $\tau$. The…
A polymer chain confined in nano-scale geometry has been used to investigate the underlying mechanism of Nuclear Pore Complex (NPC), where transport of cargoes is directional. It was shown here that depending on the solvent quality (good or…
We develop a theory for polymer translocation driven by a time-dependent force through an oscillating nanopore. To this end, we extend the iso-flux tension propagation theory (IFTP) [Sarabadani \textit{et al., J. Chem. Phys.}, 2014,…
