Facilitated diffusion on confined DNA
G. Foffano, D. Marenduzzo, E. Orlandini
In living cells, proteins combine 3D bulk diffusion and 1D sliding along the DNA to reach a target faster. This process is known as facilitated diffusion, and we investigate its dy…
Bulk rheology and microrheology of active fluids
G. Foffano, J. S. Lintuvuori, A. N. Morozov +3
We simulate macroscopic shear experiments in active nematics and compare them with microrheology simulations where a spherical probe particle is dragged through an active fluid. In…
Colloids in active fluids: Anomalous micro-rheology and negative drag
G. Foffano, J. S. Lintuvuori, K. Stratford +2
We simulate an experiment in which a colloidal probe is pulled through an active nematic fluid. We find that the drag on the particle is non-Stokesian (not proportional to its radi…
