Exact curvilinear diffusion coefficients in the repton model.
نویسنده
چکیده
The Rubinstein-Duke or repton model is one of the simplest lattice model of reptation for the diffusion of a polymer in a gel or a melt. Recently, a slightly modified model with hardcore interactions between the reptons has been introduced. The curvilinear diffusion coefficients of both models are exactly determined for all chain lengths. The case of periodic boundary conditions is also considered.

Diffusion constant for the repton model of gel electrophoresis
The repton model is a simple model of the “reptation” motion by which DNA diffuses through a gel during electrophoresis. In this paper we show that the model can be mapped onto a system consisting of two types of particles with hard-sphere interactions diffusing on a one-dimensional lattice. Using this mapping we formulate an efficient Monte Carlo algorithm for the model which allows us to simu...
متن کاملGel Electrophoresis of Dna — New Measurements and the Repton Model at High Fields
New experimental data are presented on the gel electrophoresis of DNA. Experiment was made for molecules of length 173 kbp, in 1 percent agarose gel, in TAE 1× buffer and the field intensity between 5 and 9V/cm. The results are compared with our computer simulations, performed within the repton model of Duke and Rubinstein. The ranges of field and molecule length are determined, where the geome...
متن کاملStructural modes of a polymer in the repton model.
Using extensive computer simulations, the behavior of the structural modes-more precisely, the eigenmodes of a phantom Rouse polymer-are characterized for a polymer in the three-dimensional repton model and are used to study the polymer dynamics at time scales well before the tube renewal. Although these modes are not the eigenmodes for a polymer in the repton model, we show that numerically th...
متن کاملIntroduced a Modified Set of Boundary Condition of Lattice Boltzmann Method Based on Bennett extension in Presence of Buoyancy Term Considering Variable Diffusion Coefficients
Various numerical boundary condition methods have been proposed to simulate various aspects of the no-slip wall condition using the Lattice Boltzmann Method. In this paper, a new boundary condition scheme is developed to model the no-slip wall condition in the presence of the body force term near the wall which is based on the Bennett extension. The error related to the new model is smaller tha...
