Coarse-grained simulation of polymer translocation through an artificial nanopore

The translocation of a macromolecule through a nanometer-sized pore is an interesting process with important applications in the development of biosensors for single–molecule analysis and in drug delivery and gene therapy. We have carried out a molecular dynamics simulation study of electrophoretic translocation of a charged polymer through an artificial nanopore to explore the feasibility of s...

Relating Structure to Function Through the Dominant Slow Modes of Motion of DNA Topoisomerase II

Type II DNA topoisomerases are enzymes capable of transporting one DNA duplex through another by performing a cycle of DNA cleavage, transport, and religation, coupled to ATP binding and hydrolysis. Here, we considered a coarse-grained model of the structure and investigated the motions within two structures, DNA topoisomerase II and DNA gyrase A. The coarse graining with only one point per res...

Dynamics of DNA translocation through an attractive nanopore.

We investigate the dynamics of single-stranded DNA translocation through a nanopore driven by an external force using Langevin dynamics simulations in two dimensions to study how the translocation dynamics depend on the details of the DNA sequences. We consider a coarse-grained model of DNA built from two bases A and C, having different base-pore interactions, e.g., a strong (weak) attractive f...

Dissipative Particle Dynamics simulation hydrated Nafion EW 1200 as fuel cell membrane in nanoscopic scale

The microphase separation of hydrated perfluorinated sulfonic acid membrane Nafion was investigated using Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD). The nafion as a polymer was modelled by connecting coarse grained beads which corresponds to the hydrophobic backbone of polytetrafluoroethylene and perfluorinated side chains terminated by hydrophilic end particles of sulfonic acid groups [1, 2]. Each f...

Lattice-Boltzmann Simulations of Ionic Current Modulation by DNA Translocation.

We present a numerical study of the effect of DNA translocation on the ionic current through a nanopore. We use a coarse-grained model to solve the electrokinetic equations at the Poisson-Boltzmann level for the microions, coupled to a lattice-Boltzmann equation for the solvent hydrodynamics. In most cases, translocation leads to a reduction in the ionic current. However, at low salt concentrat...
