Flexible polymer confined inside a cone-shaped nano-channel
Narges Nikoofard, Hossein Fazli
Nano-scale confinement of polymer in cone-shaped geometries occurs in many experimental situations. A flexible polymer confined in a cone-shaped nano-channel is studied theoretical…
Obstruction enhances the diffusivity of self-propelled rod-like particles
Hamidreza Khalilian, Hossein Fazli
Diffusion of self-propelled particles in the presence of randomly distributed obstacles in three dimensions is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that depend…
Distribution of counterions and interaction between two similarly charged dielectric slabs: Roles of charge discreteness and dielectric inhomogeneity
Weria Pezeshkian, Narges Nikoofard, Davood Norouzi +2
The distribution of counterions and the electrostatic interaction between two similarly charged dielectric slabs is studied in the strong coupling limit. Dielectric inhomogeneities…
Directed translocation of a flexible polymer through a cone-shaped channel
Narges Nikoofard, Hamidreza Khalilian, Hossein Fazli
Entropy-driven directed translocation of a flexible polymer through a cone-shaped channel is studied theoretically and using computer simulation. For a given length of the channel,…
Chiral Structure of F-actin Bundle Formed by Multivalent Counterions?
Sarah Mohammadinejad, Ramin Golestanian, Hossein Fazli
The mechanism of multivalent counterion-induced bundle formation by filamentous actin (F-actin) is studied using a coarse-grained model and molecular dynamics simulation. Real diam…
Electric-field-driven polymer entry into asymmetric nanoscale channels
Narges Nikoofard, Hossein Fazli
The electric-field-driven entry process of flexible charged polymers such as single stranded DNA (ssDNA) into asymmetric nanoscale channels such as alpha-hemolysin protein channel…
