Dynamics of unbinding of polymers in a random medium
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have studied the aging effect on the dynamics of unbinding of a double stranded directed polymer in a random medium. By using the Monte Carlo dynamics of a lattice model in two dimensions, for which disorder is known to be relevant, the unbinding dynamics is studied by allowing the bound polymer to relax in the random medium for a waiting time and then allowing the two strands to unbind. The subsequent dynamics is formulated in terms of the overlap of the two strands and also the overlap of each polymer with the configuration at the start of the unbinding process. The interrelations between the two and the nature of the dependence on the waiting time are studied.

Three new scorpion chloride channel toxins as potential anti-cancer drugs: Computational prediction of the interactions with hMMP-2 by docking and Steered Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Scorpion venom is a rich source of toxins which have great potential to develop new therapeutic agents. Scorpion chloride channel toxins (ClTxs), such as Chlorotoxin selectively inhibit human Matrix Methaloproteinase-2 (hMMP-2). The inhibitors of hMMP-2 have potential use in cancer therapy. Three new ClTxs, meuCl14, meuCl15 and meuCl16, derived from the venom transcriptome of Iranian scorpion, ...

متن کاملUnbinding of mutually avoiding random walks and two-dimensional quantum gravity.
We analyze the unbinding transition for a two-dimensional lattice polymer in which the constituent strands are mutually avoiding random walks. At low temperatures the strands are bound and form a single self-avoiding walk. We show that unbinding in this model is a strong first order transition. The entropic exponents associated with denaturated loops and end-segment distributions show sharp dif...
متن کاملReunion of random walkers with a long range interaction: applications to polymers and quantum mechanics.
We use a renormalization group to calculate the reunion and survival exponents of a set of random walkers interacting with a long range 1/r2 and a short range interaction. These exponents are used to study the binding-unbinding transition of polymers and the behavior of several quantum problems.
متن کاملInvestigation of Indazole Unbinding Pathways in CYP2E1 by Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Human microsomal cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) can oxidize not only low molecular weight xenobiotic compounds such as ethanol, but also many endogenous fatty acids. The crystal structure of CYP2E1 in complex with indazole reveals that the active site is deeply buried into the protein center. Thus, the unbinding pathways and associated unbinding mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, random ac...
