Brownian Dynamics Simulation of Macromolecule Diffusion in a Protocell.
The interiors of all living cells are highly crowded with macromolecules, which differs considerably the thermodynamics and kinetics of biological reactions between in vivo and in vitro. For example, the diffusion of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in E. coli is ~10-fold slower than in dilute conditions. In this study, we performed Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations of rigid macromolecules in a...
متن کاملBrownian dynamics simulations of the self- and collective rotational diffusion coefficients of rigid long thin rods.
Recently a microscopic theory for the dynamics of suspensions of long thin rigid rods was presented, confirming and expanding the well-known theory by Doi and Edwards [The Theory of Polymer Dynamics (Clarendon, Oxford, 1986)] and Kuzuu [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 52, 3486 (1983)]. Here this theory is put to the test by comparing it against computer simulations. A Brownian dynamics simulation program wa...
متن کاملBrownian dynamics simulation of elliptic disks
Within this thesis, we consider Brownian dynamics simulations of anisotropic colloids modeled by elliptic disks. At first, a mathematical framework is developed in order to describe ellipses and to derive corresponding collision laws. Then, we introduce the conception of an event-driven algorithm. Within this scope, the collision time of two elliptic disks has to be determined. For this purpose...
متن کاملOn Brownian Dynamics Simulation of Nanoparticle Aggregation
Accurate simulation and control of nanoparticle aggregation in chemical reactors requires that population balance equations be solved by using realistic expressions for aggregation and breakage rate kernels. Obtaining such expressions requires that atomistic simulation approaches that can account for microscopic details of particle collisions be used. In principle, molecular dynamics simulation...
متن کاملBrownian dynamics simulation of stiff dumbbells
The effects of stiffness on the diffusion-limited dynamics of dumbbells in solution is studied numerically. The Langevin equation is used with two different models, the so-called Fraenkel and FENE dumbbells. It is found that the dynamics of rotation and stretching are dictated by the two following trends: (i) the density-density correlation function for these modes decays more slowly for larger...
