Computation of the Mean First-Encounter Time Between the Ends of a Polymer Chain
Assaf Amitai, Ivan Kupka, David Holcman
Using a novel theoretical approach, we study the mean first encounter time (MFET) between the two ends of a polymer. Previous approaches used various simplifications that reduced t…

Encounter dynamics of a small target by a polymer diffusing in a confined domain
A. Amitai, Carlo Amoruso, Avi Ziskind +1
We study the first passage time for a polymer, that we call the narrow encounter time (NETP), to reach a small target located on the surface of a microdomain. The polymer is modele…
