Non-Markovian polymer reaction kinetics.
Describing the kinetics of polymer reactions, such as the formation of loops and hairpins in nucleic acids or polypeptides, is complicated by the structural dynamics of their chains. Although both intramolecular reactions, such as cyclization, and intermolecular reactions have been studied extensively, both experimentally and theoretically, there is to date no exact explicit analytical treatmen...
متن کاملReaction Kinetics in Polymer Melts
We study the reaction kinetics of end-functionalized polymer chains dispersed in an unreactive polymer melt. Starting from an infinite hierarchy of coupled equations for many-chain correlation functions, a closed equation is derived for the 2nd order rate constant k after postulating simple physical bounds. Our results generalize previous 2-chain treatments (valid in dilute reactants limit) by ...
متن کاملNon-Markovian quantum kinetics and conservation laws
A link between memory effects in quantum kinetic equations and nonequilibrium correlations associated with the energy conservation is investigated. In order that the energy be conserved by an approximate collision integral, the one-particle distribution function and the mean interaction energy are treated as independent nonequilibrium state parameters. The density operator method is used to der...
متن کاملNon-Markovian closure kinetics of flexible polymers with hydrodynamic interactions.
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the closure kinetics of a polymer with hydrodynamic interactions. This analysis, which takes into account the non-Markovian dynamics of the end-to-end vector and relies on the preaveraging of the mobility tensor (Zimm dynamics), is shown to reproduce very accurately the results of numerical simulations of the complete nonlinear dynamics. It is found...
متن کاملNon-Markovian stochastic Liouville equation and anomalous relaxation kinetics
The kinetics of phase and population relaxation in quantum systems induced by noise with anomalously slowly decaying correlation function P (t) ∼ (wt)−α, where 0 < α < 1 is analyzed within continuous time random walk approach (CTRWA). The relaxation kinetics is shown to be anomalously slow. Moreover for α < 1 in the limit of short characteristic time of fluctuations w the kinetics is independen...
