Fluctuation-Driven Transport in Biological Nanopores. A 3D Poisson-Nernst-Planck Study
Living systems display a variety of situations in which non-equilibrium fluctuations couple to certain protein functions yielding astonishing results. Here we study the bacterial channel OmpF under conditions similar to those met in vivo, where acidic resistance mechanisms are known to yield oscillations in the electric potential across the cell membrane. We use a three-dimensional structure-ba...
متن کاملFluctuation-Driven Molecular Transport in an Asymmetric Membrane Channel
Channel proteins, that selectively conduct molecules across cell membranes, often exhibit an asymmetric structure. By means of a stochastic model, we argue that channel asymmetry in the presence of non-equilibrium fluctuations, fueled by the cell’s metabolism as observed recently, can dramatically influence the transport through such channels by a ratchet-like mechanism. For an aquaglyceroporin...
متن کاملForce fluctuation in a driven elastic chain
We study the dynamics of an elastic chain driven on a disordered substrate and analyze numerically the statistics of force fluctuations at the depinning transition. The probability distribution function of the amplitude of the slip events for small velocities is a power law with an exponent τ depending on the driving velocity. This result is in qualitative agreement with experimental measuremen...

پیدایش مرحله ی جدیدی از نظام سرمایه داری بعد از جنگ جهانی دوم همزمان است با ظهور عصر اطلاعات و رسانه جمعی. در چنین جامعه ای سیر آزادانه ی نشانه ها در فضای بی اساس مجازی بر سرعت فرسایش واقعیت می افزاید. به اعتقاد بودریار، فقدان واقعیت به واسطه ی شبیه سازی آن و تولید حاد واقعیت (hyperreality) پنهان خواهد ماند. این پژوهش بر آن است که جامعه فرانوین توصیف شده در سه رمان بریان مور را با توجه به نظر...
15 صفحه اولControlling molecular transport through nanopores.
Nanopores are emerging as powerful tools for the detection and identification of macromolecules in aqueous solution. In this review, we discuss the recent development of active and passive controls over molecular transport through nanopores with emphasis on biosensing applications. We give an overview of the solutions developed to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of the resistive-pulse t...
