چکیده

The configuration-controlled regime and the diffusion-controlled regime of conformation-modulated fluorescence emission are systematically studied for Markovian and non-Markovian dynamics of the reaction coordinate. A path integral simulation is used to model fluorescence quenching processes on a semiflexible chain. First-order inhomogeneous cumulant expansion in the configuration-controlled regime defines a lower bound for the survival probability, while the Wilemski-Fixman approximation in the diffusion-controlled regime defines an upper bound. Inclusion of the experimental time window of the fluorescence measurement adds another dimension to the two kinetic regimes and provides a unified perspective for theoretical analysis and experimental investigation. We derive a rigorous generalization of the Wilemski-Fixman approximation [G. Wilemski and M. Fixman, J. Chem. Phys. 60, 866 (1974)] and recover the 1/D expansion of the average lifetime derived by Weiss [G. H. Weiss, J. Chem. Phys. 80, 2880 (1984)].

Computer Simulation of Equidxed Eutectic Solidifiction of Metals

In the present work, the solidification process was simulated in both macroscopic and microscopic scales. Two-dimensional heat transfer equation for conduction was applied for macroscopic modeling using enthalpy formulation and finite element method. In order to decrease execution time and/or memory capacity in finite analysis, skyline mathematical technique was adapted. The microenthalpy metho...

Probing single-molecule dynamics photon by photon

We present the theoretical rationales for data analysis protocols that afford an efficient extraction of conformational dynamics on a broad range of time scales from single-molecule fluorescence lifetime trajectories. Based on correlation analyses, a photon-by-photon approach on one hand provides the highest time resolution, whereas a minimal-binning method on the other hand is most suitable fo...

Developing and Testing a Bayesian Analysis of Fluorescence Lifetime Measurements

FRET measurements can provide dynamic spatial information on length scales smaller than the diffraction limit of light. Several methods exist to measure FRET between fluorophores, including Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM), which relies on the reduction of fluorescence lifetime when a fluorophore is undergoing FRET. FLIM measurements take the form of histograms of photon arrival ...

A New Approach for Monte Carlo Simulation of RAFT Polymerization

In this work, based on experimental observations and exact theoretical predictions, the kinetic scheme of RAFT polymerization is extended to a wider range of reactions such as irreversible intermediate radical terminations and reversible transfer reactions. The reactions which have been labeled as kinetic scheme are the more probable existing reactions as the theoretical point of view. The ...

Theoretical analysis and computer simulation of fluorescence lifetime measurements. II. Contour length dependence of single polymers.

Fluorescence lifetime measurements in a polymer chain are modeled using a memory function expansion, computer simulations, and simple scaling arguments. Unless the quenching rate is localized and infinitely fast, the fluorescence lifetime is generally not equivalent to the first passage time. The fluorescence lifetime distribution is decomposed into memory functions that can be measured separat...
