Motility and Energetics of Randomly Flashing Ratchets
Xining Xu, Yunxin Zhang
We consider a randomly flashing ratchet, where the potential acting can be switched to another at random. Using coupled Fokker-Planck equations, we formulate the expressions of qua…

Mean velocity and effective diffusion constant for translocation of biopolymer chains across membrane
Xining Xu, Yunxin Zhang
Chaperone-assisted translocation through a nanopore embedded in membrane holds a prominent role in the transport of biopolymers. Inspired by classical Brownian ratchet, we develop…

Theoretical model of transcription based on torsional mechanics of DNA template
Xining Xu, Yunxin Zhang
Transcription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied to RNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase (RNAP). Despite many details of the complex i…
