Effective charge and free energy of DNA inside an ion channel
Jingshan Zhang, B. I. Shklovskii
Translocation of a single stranded DNA (ssDNA) through an alpha-hemolysin channel in a lipid membrane driven by applied transmembrane voltage V was extensively studied recently. Wh…
Conductivity of a suspension of nanowires in a weakly conducting medium
Tao Hu, A. Yu. Grosberg, B. I. Shklovskii
We study macroscopic electrical or thermal conductivity of a composite made of straight or coiled nanowires suspended in poorly conducting medium. We assume that volume fraction of…
Self-energy limited ion transport in sub-nanometer channels
Douwe Jan Bonthuis, Jingshan Zhang, Breton Hornblower +3
The current-voltage characteristics of the alpha-Hemolysin protein pore during the passage of single-stranded DNA under varying ionic strength, C, are studied experimentally. We ob…
How does a protein search for the specific site on DNA: the role of disorder
Tao Hu, B. I. Shklovskii
Proteins can locate their specific targets on DNA up to two orders of magnitude faster than the Smoluchowski three-dimensional diffusion rate. This happens due to non-specific adso…
