Detachment of semiflexible polymer chains from a substrate - a Molecular Dynamics investigation
J. Paturej, A. Erbas, A. Milchev +1
Using Molecular Dynamics simulations, we study the force-induced detachment of a coarse-grained model polymer chain from an adhesive substrate. One of the chain ends is thereby pul…
Driven translocation of a polymer: role of pore friction and crowding
Johan L. A. Dubbeldam, V. G. Rostiashvili, T. A. Vilgis
Force-driven translocation of a macromolecule through a nanopore is investigated by taking into account the monomer-pore friction as well as the "crowding" of monomers on the {\it…
Force spectroscopy of polymer desorption: Theory and Molecular Dynamics simulation
J. Paturej, J. L. A. Dubbeldam, V. G. Rostiashvili +2
Forced detachment of a single polymer chain, strongly-adsorbed on a solid substrate, is investigated by two complementary methods: a coarse-grained analytical dynamical model, base…
Driven translocation of a polymer: fluctuations at work
J. L. A. Dubbeldam, V. G. Rostiashvili, A. Milchev +1
The impact of thermal fluctuations on the translocation dynamics of a polymer chain driven through a narrow pore has been investigated theoretically and by means of extensive Molec…
Polymer Detachment Kinetics from Adsorbing Surface: Theory, Simulation and Similarity to Infiltration into Porous Medium
J. Paturej, A. Milchev, V. G. Rostiashvili +1
The force-assisted desorption kinetics of a macromolecule from adhesive surface is studied theoretically, using the notion of tensile (Pincus) blobs, as well as by means of Monte-C…
Forced translocation of a polymer: dynamical scaling vs. MD-simulation
J. L. A. Dubbeldam, V. G. Rostiashvili, A. Milchev +1
We suggest a theoretical description of the force-induced translocation dynamics of a polymer chain through a nanopore. Our consideration is based on the tensile (Pincus) blob pict…
