Theory of polymer translocation through a flickering nanopore under an alternating driving force
Jalal Sarabadani, Timo Ikonen, Tapio Ala-Nissila
We develop a theory for polymer translocation driven by a time-dependent force through an oscillating nanopore. To this end, we extend the iso-flux tension propagation theory (IFTP…
Polymer escape from a confining potential
Harri Mökkönen, Timo Ikonen, Tapio Ala-Nissila +1
The rate of escape of polymers from a two-dimensionally confining potential well has been evaluated using self-avoiding as well as ideal chain representations of varying length, up…
Transition State Theory Approach to Polymer Escape from a One Dimensional Potential Well
Harri Mökkönen, Timo Ikonen, Tapio Ala-Nissila +1
The rate of escape of an ideal bead-spring polymer in a symmetric double-well potential is calculated using transition state theory (TST) and the results compared with direct dynam…
