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 …

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

We investigate the influence of polymer-pore interactions on the translocation dynamics
using Langevin dynamics simulations. An attractive interaction can greatly improve the …

Protein nanopores have emerged as an important class of sensors for the understanding of
biophysical processes, such as molecular transport across membranes, and for 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 investigate the dynamics of DNA translocation through a nanopore using 2D Langevin
dynamics simulations, focusing on the dependence of the translocation dynamics on the …

Abstract Theory and numerical simulations play a major role in the development of improved
and novel separation methods. In some cases, computer simulations predict counterintuitive …

We consider DNA translocation through a pore in a planar membrane. The pore is so narrow
that only one DNA segment can fit in. Assuming that the biasing force f acts inside the pore …

We study the dynamics of driven polymer translocation using both molecular dynamics (MD)
simulations and a theoretical model based on the non-equilibrium tension propagation on …
