Polymer translocation out of confined environments
Kaifu Luo, Ralf Metzler, Tapio Ala-Nissila +1
We consider the dynamics of polymer translocation out of confined environments. Analytic scaling arguments lead to the prediction that the translocation time scales like $τ\sim N^{…
Finding the optimum activation energy in DNA breathing dynamics: A Simulated Annealing approach
Pinaki Chaudhury, Ralf Metzler, Suman K Banik
We demonstrate how the stochastic global optimization scheme of Simulated Annealing can be used to evaluate optimum parameters in the problem of DNA breathing dynamics. The breathi…
Bubble merging in breathing DNA as a vicious walker problem in opposite potentials
Jonas Nyvold Pedersen, Mikael Sonne Hansen, Tomas Novotny +2
We investigate the coalescence of two DNA-bubbles initially located at weak domains and separated by a more stable barrier region in a designed construct of double-stranded DNA. In…
