چکیده
The proton transport along a hydrogen bond chain in an external membrane field is described by means of the Pauli master equation with asymmetric rate constants. The analytic solution describing the proton motion is found and its properties are discussed.

Proton transport along water chains in an electric field
Proton transport along water chains is thought to be essential for the translocation of protons over large distances in proteins. In this paper the real-time nonequilibrium quantum dynamics of proton transport along chains of three or four water molecules is simulated using the multiconfigurational molecular dynamics with quantum transitions method. A linearly increasing external electric field...
متن کاملThermal negativity in a two qubit XXX and XX spin chain model in an external magnetic field
In this paper we studied the thermal negativity in a two-qubit XX spin ½ chain model and XXX spin1/2 chain model(isotropic Heisenberg model)spin-1/2 chain subjected to an external magnetic field inz direction. We calculate analytical relation for the thermal negativity for two qubit XX and XXX spinchain models in the external magnetic field. Effects of the magnetic field and temperature on then...
متن کاملSolvation and Hydrogen-Bonding Effects on Proton Wires
In this paper, the multiconfigurational molecular dynamics with quantum transitions (MC-MDQT) method is used to simulate the nonequilibrium real-time quantum dynamics of proton transport along water chains in the presence of solvating water molecules. The model system consists of a protonated chain of three water molecules and two additional solvating water molecules hydrogen-bonded to each end...
متن کاملMolecular mechanism of H+ conduction in the single-file water chain of the gramicidin channel.
The conduction of protons in the hydrogen-bonded chain of water molecules (or "proton wire") embedded in the lumen of gramicidin A is studied with molecular dynamics free energy simulations. The process may be described as a "hop-and-turn" or Grotthuss mechanism involving the chemical exchange (hop) of hydrogen nuclei between hydrogen-bonded water molecules arranged in single file in the lumen ...
