چکیده
S. B. Yuste* and Katja Lindenberg Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry 0340, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093-0340 (Received 2 April 2001; published 24 August 2001) We consider the coagulation dynamics A 1 A ! A and A 1 A % A and the annihilation dynamics A 1 A ! 0 for particles moving subdiffusively in one dimension. This scenario combines the “anomalous kinetics” and “anomalous diffusion” problems, each of which leads to interesting dynamics separately and to even more interesting dynamics in combination. Our analysis is based on the fractional diffusion equation.

Mathematical Modelling of Subdiffusion-reaction Systems
A review of recent developments in the theoretical description and mathematical modelling of subdiffusion-reaction systems is presented. A number of subdiffusion-reaction models are discussed, including models of subdiffusion-limited reactions and models with intertwined subdiffusion and reaction operators. Specific features of the instability development and pattern formation are discussed. So...
متن کاملA solution to the subdiffusion-efficiency paradox: Inactive states enhance reaction efficiency at subdiffusion conditions in living cells
Macromolecular crowding in living biological cells effects subdiffusion of larger biomolecules such as proteins and enzymes. Mimicking this subdiffusion in terms of random walks on a critical percolation cluster, we here present a case study of EcoRV restriction enzymes involved in vital cellular defence. We show that due to its so far elusive propensity to an inactive state the enzyme avoids n...
متن کاملProbing the type of anomalous diffusion with single-particle tracking.
Many reactions in complex fluids, e.g. signaling cascades in the cytoplasm of living cells, are governed by a diffusion-driven encounter of reactants. Yet, diffusion in complex fluids often exhibits an anomalous characteristic ('subdiffusion'). Since different types of subdiffusion have distinct effects on timing and equilibria of chemical reactions, a thorough determination of the reactants' t...
متن کاملCattaneo-type subdiffusion-reaction equation.
Subdiffusion in a system in which mobile particles A can chemically react with static particles B according to the rule A+B→B is considered within a persistent random-walk model. This model, which assumes a correlation between successive steps of particles, provides hyperbolic Cattaneo normal diffusion or fractional subdiffusion equations. Starting with the difference equation, which describes ...
متن کاملOrigin of subdiffusion of water molecules on cell membrane surfaces
Water molecules play an important role in providing unique environments for biological reactions on cell membranes. It is widely believed that water molecules form bridges that connect lipid molecules and stabilize cell membranes. Using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, we show that translational and rotational diffusion of water molecules on lipid membrane surfaces exhibit subdiffusion ...
