چکیده

We present a new approach to investigating the dynamics of loop formation in a very crude polymer model and estimate the mean first time for the two ends to meet. This time depends on the number of monomers N . We obtain analytical formulas when N = 3, 4 in dimension two and an asymptotic formula when N is large. Our analysis is confirmed by stochastic simulations.

A New Potentiometric Sensor for Determination and Screening Phenylalanine in Blood Serum Based on Molecularly Imprinted Polymer

Methods routinely utilized for detection of phenylalanine in new-born blood consist of enzymatic assays, lacking sensitivity and HPLC assays which are expensive and time-consuming to conduct. We, here, report for the first time, the construction of a phenylalanine sensitive electrode, on the basis of a selective molecularly imprinted polymer, offering sensitivity, economy and ease of use for th...

The effect of different pHs, Surfactants and dialyses times on preparation of nano Rod Hydroxyapatite

Nano HA rod was synthesized by precipitation method using Ca(NO3)24H2O and (NH4)2HPO4 as starting materials and ammonia solution as an agent for pH adjustment. The Ca/P molar ratio was maintained at 1.67. Then, the effect of different pH (4, 6, 8, 10, 11), different surfactants and different times for dialyses on nano HA rod were studied in this study. The samples were characterized by differen...

Exploring the relaxation time, bond length and length of the polymer chain in the kinetics of end-to-end looping of a long polymer chain

We present a theoretical model for understanding the kinetics of a long polymer in solution. A Smoluchowski-like equation has been used to model the problem of polymer looping with a Dirac delta function sink of finite strength. The results for rate constants have been obtained by using Green’s function. In this model, the rate constants for end-to-end looping of polymer exhibits simple Arrheni...
