Confinement-Driven Acceleration of First-Passage Rates

Won Kyu Kim

We demonstrate that confinement geometry can act as a rectifier in passive diffusion, optimally accelerating first-passage rates beyond free diffusion. Using analytic theory based…

Emergence of metachronal waves in a chain of symmetrically beating filaments

Narina Jung, Won Kyu Kim, Changbong Hyeon

Recent experiments have shown that metachronal waves (MCWs) can emerge from a chain of symmetrically beating nematodes aligned at the edge of sessile droplets. Our study, employing…

Active Diffusion of Self-Propelled Particles in Semi-Flexible Polymer Networks

Yeongjin Kim, Won Kyu Kim, Jae-Hyung Jeon

Mesh-like structures, such as mucus gel or cytoskeleton networks, are ubiquitous in biological systems. These intricate structures are composed of cross-linked, semi-flexible bio-f…

General Chemical Reaction Network Theory for Olfactory Sensing Based on G-Protein-Coupled Receptors : Elucidation of Odorant Mixture Effects and Agonist-Synergist Threshold

Won Kyu Kim, Kiri Choi, Changbong Hyeon +1

This work presents a general chemical reaction network theory for olfactory sensing processes that employ G-protein-coupled receptors as olfactory receptors (ORs). The theory is ap…

Modeling of stimuli-responsive nanoreactors: rational rate control towards the design of colloidal enzymes

Matej Kanduc, Won Kyu Kim, Rafael Roa +1

In modern applications of heterogeneous liquid-phase nanocatalysis, the catalysts (e.g., metal nanoparticles) need to be typically affixed to a colloidal carrier system for stabili…
