In recent years, applications and experimental studies of DNA in nanochannels have
stimulated the investigation of the polymer physics of DNA in confinement. Recent advances …

Scaling regimes for polymers confined to tubular channels are well established when the
channel cross-sectional dimension is either very small (Odjik regime) or large (classic de …

We show that the problem of describing the conformations of a semiflexible polymer
confined to a channel can be mapped onto an exactly solvable model in the so-called …

Mechanical deformation of dsDNA molecules inside square nanochannels is investigated
using simulations based on a coarse-grained model of DNA. The combined action of …

The force–extension relation for a semiflexible polymer confined in a nanoslit is investigated.
Both the effective correlation length and force–extension relation change as the chain goes …

External forces and confinement are two fundamental and complementary approaches for
biopolymer stretching. By employing micro-and nanofluidics, we study the force–extension …

高分子生物材料微观力学性质的定量刻画, 以及先进生物微纳米技术与器件的发展,
均需要定量分析生物大分子等高分子链在复杂微环境中的统计热力学性质与行为 …

We study the compression and extension response of single dsDNA (double-stranded DNA)
molecules confined in cylindrical channels by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The elastic …

We experimentally investigate the stretching and relaxation of individual double-stranded
DNA molecules in nanofluidic slits with depths that span the regime between moderate and …

We investigated the statistical behaviors of semiflexible polymer chains, which were
simultaneously subjected to force stretching and rectangular tube confinement. Based on …
