Anomalous diffusion of single particles in cytoplasm.
The crowded intracellular environment poses a formidable challenge to experimental and theoretical analyses of intracellular transport mechanisms. Our measurements of single-particle trajectories in cytoplasm and their random-walk interpretations elucidate two of these mechanisms: molecular diffusion in crowded environments and cytoskeletal transport along microtubules. We employed acousto-opti...
متن کاملAnomalous diffusion of inertial, weakly damped particles.
The anomalous (i.e., non-Gaussian) dynamics of particles subject to a deterministic acceleration and a series of "random kicks" is studied. Based on an extension of the concept of continuous time random walks to position-velocity space, a new fractional equation of the Kramers-Fokker-Planck type is derived. The associated collision operator necessarily involves a fractional substantial derivati...
متن کاملDiffusion of interacting Brownian particles: Jamming and anomalous diffusion.
The free self-diffusion of an assembly of interacting particles confined on a quasi-one-dimensional ring is investigated both numerically and analytically. The interparticle pairwise interaction can be either attractive or repulsive and the energy barrier opposing thermal hopping of two particles one past the other is finite. Thus, for sufficiently long times, self-diffusion becomes normal or c...
متن کاملTransient anomalous diffusion of tracer particles in soft matter
This paper is motivated by experiments in which time series of tracer particles in viscoelastic liquids are recorded using advanced microscopy. The experiments seek to infer either viscoelastic properties of the sample Mason and Weitz, Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 1250–1253 1995 or diffusive properties of the specific tracer particle in the host medium Suh et al., Adv. Drug Delivery Rev. 57, 63–78 2005...
متن کاملAnomalous diffusion of self-propelled particles in directed random environments.
We theoretically study the transport properties of self-propelled particles on complex structures, such as motor proteins on filament networks. A general master equation formalism is developed to investigate the persistent motion of individual random walkers, which enables us to identify the contributions of key parameters: the motor processivity, and the anisotropy and heterogeneity of the und...
