Probably no other field of statistical physics at the borderline of soft matter and biological
physics has caused such a flurry of papers as polymer translocation since the 1994 …

Various biological processes involve the translocation of macromolecules across
nanopores; these pores are basically protein channels embedded in membranes …

A reflection of the significant advances in the field, this book discusses the macromolecular
basis of polymer translocation that have emerged based on experimentation, new models …

The transport of polymers across nanoscale pores underpins many biological processes,
such as the ejection of bacteriophage DNA into a host cell and the transfer of genes …

The relaxation, diffusion and translocation dynamics of single linear polymer chains in
confinement is briefly reviewed with emphasis on the comparison between theoretical …

Flexible polymers such as long DNA, RNA molecules, and proteins, can pass through a
narrow pore whose size is comparable to their molecular thickness. We highlight the …

We present a Brownian dynamics model of driven polymer translocation, in which
nonequilibrium memory effects arising from tension propagation (TP) along the cis side …

We use an accurate coarse-grained model for DNA and stochastic molecular dynamics
simulations to study the pore translocation of 10-kbp–long DNA rings that are knotted. By …

We investigate the dynamics of polymer translocation through nanopores under external
driving by 3D Langevin Dynamics simulations, focusing on the scaling of the average …

The advent of solid state nanodevices allows for interrogating the physicochemical
properties of a polyelectrolyte chain by electrophoretically driving it through a nanopore …
