Nanofluidic structures have over the last two decades emerged as a powerful platform for
detailed analysis of DNA on the kilobase pair length scale. When DNA is confined to a …

DNA confined to nanofluidic channels with a cross-section from tens to hundreds of nm wide
and hundreds of microns long stretches in an equilibrium process free of flow or end …

We study the conformation of a comb-like polymer chain in dilute solution from being in a
free state to being confined in a nanochannel by using Brownian dynamics simulations. In …

How polymer chains with different architectures translocate through narrow nanochannels
with the channel size much smaller than the chain size in flow fields remains a fundamental …

We explore the escape dynamics of active ring polymers confined in a cylindrical
nanochannel using Brownian dynamics. Our simulation results show that the escape time …

Fundamental research on Parkinson's disease (PD) most often focuses on the ability of α‐
synuclein (aS) to form oligomers and amyloids, and how such species promote brain cell …

The wormlike-chain model is commonly used to describe the statistical properties of DNA
and liquid-crystal polymers. Following the Green's function approach, here we present the …

The effects of confinement and hydrodynamic interactions on single-chain diffusion
behaviors are studied by using a combination of molecular dynamics and multiparticle …

Within a confining tube section, the multithreads of a strongly confined, backfolding polymer
exert the excluded-volume repulsions on each other and produce physical properties that …

Molecular simulations in nanochannels are used to explore the compression elasticity of
ring polymers of stiffness (persistence length) similar to DNA. By combination with the …
