Origins and consequences of velocity fluctuations during DNA passage through a nanopore

B Lu, F Albertorio, DP Hoogerheide, JA Golovchenko - Biophysical journal, 2011 - cell.com
We describe experiments and modeling results that reveal and explain the distribution of
times that identical double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) molecules take to pass through a voltage …

Force-driven polymer translocation through a nanopore: An old problem revisited

P Rowghanian, AY Grosberg - The Journal of Physical Chemistry …, 2011 - ACS Publications
We consider DNA translocation through a pore in a planar membrane. The pore is so narrow
