Polymer translocation dynamics in the quasi-static limit.
Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are used to study the dynamics of polymer translocation through a nanopore in the limit where the translocation rate is sufficiently slow that the polymer maintains a state of conformational quasi-equilibrium. The system is modeled as a flexible hard-sphere chain that translocates through a cylindrical hole in a hard flat wall. In some calculations, the nanopore is ...
متن کاملThe quasi-deterministic limit of population dynamics
We discuss and compare three different, but related, approximations to the stochastic dynamics of populations, all of them having as limit the same deterministic dynamics. The diffusion approximation (van Kampen (1981a); Arnold (1997)), linearized diffusion approximation (Kurtz (1971)) and the Poisson approximation (Aparicio & Solari (2001a); Solari & Natiello (2003b)) are briefly revisited and...
متن کاملTranslocation dynamics with attractive nanopore-polymer interactions.
Using Langevin dynamics simulations, we investigate the influence of polymer-pore interactions on the dynamics of biopolymer translocation through nanopores. We find that an attractive interaction can significantly change the translocation dynamics. This can be understood by examining the three components of the total translocation time tau approximately tau1+tau2+tau3 corresponding to the init...
متن کاملNonequilibrium dynamics of polymer translocation and straightening.
When a flexible polymer is sucked into a localized small hole, the chain can initially respond only locally and the sequential nonequilibrium processes follow in line with the propagation of the tensile force along the chain backbone. We analyze this dynamical process by taking the nonuniform stretching of the polymer into account both with and without hydrodynamics interactions. Earlier conjec...
متن کاملQuasi-static Positioning of Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC) Actuators
Ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs) generate large bending motions under a low driving voltage (about 1 V). In this paper quasi-static actuation of IPMC is investigated with the goal of precise positioning. It is found that IPMC exhibits hysteresis between its bending curvature and the applied quasi-static voltage. The Preisach operator is proposed to model the hysteresis, and its density fu...
