Biopolymer filtration in corrugated nanochannels.
We examine pressure-driven nonequilibrium transport of linear, circular, and star polymers through a nanochannel containing a rectangular pit with full hydrodynamic interactions and thermal fluctuations. We demonstrate that with sufficiently small pressure differences, there is contour length-dependent entropic trapping of the polymer in the pit when the pit and the polymer sizes are compatible...
متن کاملCooperative transport in nanochannels.
Channel transport of different species of particles is viewed usually only in terms of competition and selectivity. In this paper we show that transport of one species may be promoted by the presence of another and that both may even mutually cooperate. We investigate a discretized Markovian model of nanochannel transport via in-channel sites, allowing for the simultaneous transport of several ...
متن کاملStretching Chromatin in Nanochannels
We present a method for the stretching of chromatin molecules that enables location-resolved optical investigation of the nucleic material with a resolution of about 6 kbp. The method relies on the equilibrium elongation that polymers experience when they are introduced into nanofluidic channels that are narrower than the Flory coil corresponding to the whole chromatin molecule. We investigate ...
متن کاملDNA nanochannels
Transmembrane proteins are mostly nanochannels playing a highly important role in metabolism. Understanding their structures and functions is vital for revealing life processes. It is of fundamental interest to develop chemical devices to mimic biological channels. Structural DNA nanotechnology has been proven to be a promising method for the preparation of fine DNA nanochannels as a result of ...
متن کاملSingle-Particle Electrophoresis in Nanochannels
Electrophoretic mobilities and particle sizes of individual Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) capsids were measured in nanofluidic channels with two nanopores in series. The channels and pores had three-dimensional topography and were milled directly in glass substrates with a focused ion beam instrument assisted by an electron flood gun. The nanochannel between the two pores was 300 nm wide, 100 nm deep...
