DNA confined in a two-dimensional strip geometry
Semiflexible polymers characterized by the contour length L and persistent length lp confined in a spatial region D have been described as a series of “spherical blobs” and “deflecting lines” by de Gennes and Odjik for lp < D and lp ≫ D respectively. Recently new intermediate regimes (extended de Gennes and Gauss-de Gennes) have been investigated by Tree et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 208103 (20...
متن کاملPolymers in Confined Geometry
First of all I have to thank Prof. Dr. Erwin Frey arousing my interest in biological physics and giving me the opportunity to write my diploma thesis in his groups at the Hahn-Meitner-Institut Berlin. Also for very interesting discussions—and some nice chats in between—and the huge amount of help by writing this thesis. A big thanks to the small Italian.. . please, don't kick me.. . That is, a ...
متن کاملPolymers confined to a wedge
2014 We consider, in a mean field approximation, a polymer solution confined to an acute angle (03B1 ~ 1) wedge with repulsive walls, and obtain the polymer concentration profile and the resulting line tension. We find that the polymer is essentially excluded from the tip zone where the width of the wedge is smaller than polymer correlation length 03BE. The resulting line tension is proportiona...
متن کاملIntricate dynamics of a deterministic walk confined in a strip
We study the dynamics of a deterministic walk confined in a narrow two-dimensional space randomly filled with point-like targets. At each step, the walker visits the nearest target not previously visited. Complex dynamics is observed at some intermediate values of the domain width, when, while drifting, the walk performs long intermittent backward excursions. As the width is increased, evidence...
متن کاملFrictional properties of confined polymers.
We present molecular dynamics friction calculations for confined hydrocarbon solids with molecular lengths from 20 to 1400 carbon atoms. Two cases are considered: a) polymer sliding against a hard substrate, and b) polymer sliding on polymer. In the first setup the shear stresses are relatively independent of molecular length. For polymer sliding on polymer the friction is significantly larger,...
