限制条件下柔性聚合物熵分离的时间尺度:丝状细菌染色体分离的意义

Time scale of entropic segregation of flexible polymers in confinement: Implications for chromosome segregation in filamentous bacteria

Axel Arnold, Suckjoon Jun

摘要:

我们报道了在圆柱形约束中两个重叠链的分离的分子动力学模拟。我们发现,链之间的熵排斥可以足够强,导致隔离的时间尺度是短的扩散相比。这一结果表明,熵驱动力足够强,导致快速细菌染色体分离。

英文摘要:

We report molecular dynamics simulations of the segregation of two overlapping chains in cylindrical confinement. We find that the entropic repulsion between the chains can be sufficiently strong to cause segregation on a time scale that is short compared to the one for diffusion. This result implies that entropic driving forces are sufficiently strong to cause rapid bacterial chromosome segregation.
