Kinetics of target site localization of a protein on DNA: a stochastic approach
M. Coppey, O. Benichou, R. Voituriez +1
It is widely recognized that the cleaving rate of a restriction enzyme on target DNA sequences is several orders of magnitude faster than the maximal one calculated from the diffus…
Intrinsic Friction of Monolayers Adsorbed on Solid Surfaces
O. Benichou, A. M. Cazabat, J. De Coninck +2
We overview recent results on intrinsic frictional properties of adsorbed monolayers, composed of mobile hard-core particles undergoing continuous exchanges with a vapor phase. In…
The Last Passage Problem on Graphs
Jean Desbois, Olivier Benichou
We consider a Brownian motion on a general graph, that starts at time t=0 from some vertex O and stops at time t somewhere on the graph. Denoting by g the last time when O is reach…
Exactly solvable model of reactions on a random catalytic chain
G. Oshanin, O. Benichou, A. Blumen
In this paper we study a catalytically-activated A + A \to 0 reaction taking place on a one-dimensional regular lattice which is brought in contact with a reservoir of A particles.…
Biased Tracer Diffusion in Hard-Core Lattice Gases: Some Notes on the Validity of the Einstein Relation
G. Oshanin, O. Benichou, S. F. Burlatsky +1
In this presentation we overview some recent results on biased tracer diffusion in lattice gases. We consider both models in which the gas particles density is explicitly conserved…
