The Quantum Statistical Mechanical Theory of Transport Processes
A new derivation of the quantum Boltzmann transport equation for the Fermion system from the quantum time evolution equation for the wigner distribution function is presented. The method exhibits the origin of the time - irreversibility of the Boltzmann equation. In the present work, the spin dependent and indistinguishibility of particles are also considered.
متن کاملDNA looping.
DNA looping is widely used in nature. It is well documented in the regulation of prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene expression, DNA replication, and site-specific DNA recombination. Undoubtedly looping also functions in other protein-DNA transactions such as repair and chromosome segregation. While the underlying physical chemistry of DNA looping is common to all systems, the precise biochemical d...
متن کاملA Generalized Theory of DNA Looping and Cyclization
We have developed a generalized semi-analytic approach for efficiently computing cyclization and looping J factors of DNA under arbitrary binding constraints. Many biological systems involving DNA-protein interactions impose precise boundary conditions on DNA, which necessitates a treatment beyond the Shimada-Yamakawa model for ring cyclization. Our model allows for DNA to be treated as a heter...
متن کاملDNA Topology: Dynamic DNA Looping
The DNA in repressive loops is often tightly bent. DNA flexibility imposes significant constraints on their topology suggesting that they may exist as perturbations in plectonemic DNA.
متن کاملStatistical Mechanical Theory of Local Compositions
Mansoori, G.A. and Ely, J.F., 1985. Statistical mechanical theory of local compositions. Fluid Phase Equilibria, 22: 253-275. The concept of local composition has received much attention during the past few years, much of which has been devoted to justifying the empirical model proposed by Wilson in 1964. In this report the concept of local composition is defined on statistical mechanical groun...
