Molecular motors transporting cargos in viscoelastic cytosol: how to beat subdiffusion with a power stroke?
Igor Goychuk, Vasyl O. Kharchenko, Ralf Metzler
Anomalously slow passive diffusion, , with , of larger tracers such as messenger RNA and endogenous submicron granules in the cytoplasm of…
Diffusion of finite-size particles in channels with random walls
Max Bauer, Aljaz Godec, Ralf Metzler
Diffusion of chemicals or tracer molecules through complex systems containing irregularly shaped channels is important in many applications. Most theoretical studies based on the f…
Aging dynamics in interacting many-body systems
Lloyd P. Sanders, Michael A. Lomholt, Ludvig Lizana +3
Low-dimensional, complex systems are often characterized by logarithmically slow dynamics. We study the generic motion of a labeled particle in an ensemble of identical diffusing p…
Particle invasion, survival, and non-ergodicity in 2D diffusion processes with space-dependent diffusivity
Andrey G. Cherstvy, Aleksei V. Chechkin, Ralf Metzler
We study the thermal Markovian diffusion of tracer particles in a 2D medium with spatially-varying diffusivity , mimicking recently measured, heterogeneous maps of the appare…
Speeding up the first-passage for subdiffusion by introducing a finite potential barrier
Vladimir Palyulin, Ralf Metzler
We show that for a subdiffusive continuous time random walk with scale-free waiting time distribution the first-passage dynamics on a finite interval can be optimised by introducti…
Stochastic Optimization Based Study of Dimerization Kinetics
Srijeeta Talukder, Shrabani Sen, Ralf Metzler +2
We investigate the potential of numerical algorithms to decipher the kinetic parameters involved in multi-step chemical reactions. To this end we study a dimerization kinetics of p…
