Polymer translocation under time-dependent driving forces: resonant activation induced by attractive polymer-pore interactions
Timo Ikonen, Jaeoh Shin, Tapio Ala-Nissila +1
We study the driven translocation of polymers under time-dependent driving forces using -particle Langevin dynamics simulations. We consider the force to be either sinusoidally…
Influence of non-universal effects on dynamical scaling in driven polymer translocation
Timo Ikonen, Aniket Bhattacharya, Tapio Ala-Nissila +1
We study the dynamics of driven polymer translocation using both molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and a theoretical model based on the non-equilibrium tension propagation on the…
Scaling theory of driven polymer translocation
Timo Ikonen, Aniket Bhattacharya, Tapio Ala-Nissila +1
We present a theoretical argument to derive a scaling law between the mean translocation time and the chain length for driven polymer translocation. This scaling law explic…
How a single stretched polymer responds coherently to a minute oscillation in fluctuating environments: An entropic stochastic resonance
Won Kyu Kim, Wokyung Sung
Within the cell, biopolymers are often situated in constrained, fluid environments, e.g., cytoskeletal networks, stretched DNAs in chromatin. It is of paramount importance to under…
Weak temporal signals can synchronize and accelerate the transition dynamics of biopolymers under tension
Won Kyu Kim, Changbong Hyeon, Wokyung Sung
In addition to thermal noise, which is essential to promote conformational transitions in biopolymers, cellular environment is replete with a spectrum of athermal fluctuations that…
