Langevin Dynamics of a Polymer with Internal Distance Constraints
We present a novel and rigorous approach to the Langevin dynamics of ideal polymer chains subject to internal distance constraints. The permanent constraints are modelled by harmonic potentials in the limit when the strength of the potential approaches infinity (hard crosslinks). The crosslinks are assumed to exist between arbitrary pairs of monomers. Formally exact expressions for the resolven...
متن کاملLocalization of a Polymer with Internal Constraints
We argue that Kantor and Kardar’s assertion that their simulation results contradict our criterion for the localization of a softly constrained ideal polymer is incorrect. Our criterion is inapplicable to the model used in these simulations. We argue that our criterion for localization of as polymer with internal constraints strongly suggests that the models with soft and hard constraints belon...
متن کاملLangevin dynamics with constraints and computation of free energy differences
In this paper, we consider Langevin processes with mechanical constraints. The latter are a fundamental tool in molecular dynamics simulation for sampling purposes and for the computation of free energy differences. The results of this paper can be divided into three parts. (i) We propose a simple discretization of the constrained Langevin process based on a standard splitting strategy. We show...
متن کاملMultiple time scale dynamics of distance fluctuations in a semiflexible polymer: a one-dimensional generalized Langevin equation treatment.
Time-dependent fluctuations in the distance x(t) between two segments along a polymer are one measure of its overall conformational dynamics. The dynamics of x(t), modeled as the coordinate of a particle moving in a one-dimensional potential well in thermal contact with a reservoir, is treated with a generalized Langevin equation whose memory kernel K(t) can be calculated from the time-correlat...
متن کاملLangevin dynamics simulations of polymer translocation through nanopores.
We investigate the dynamics of polymer translocation through a nanopore using two-dimensional Langevin dynamics simulations. In the absence of an external driving force, we consider a polymer which is initially placed in the middle of the pore and study the escape time tau(e) required for the polymer to completely exit the pore on either side. The distribution of the escape times is wide and ha...
