圆柱形纳米孔中自回避链的压缩和拉伸

Compression and stretching of a self-avoiding chain in cylindrical nanopores

Suckjoon Jun, D. Thirumalai, Bae-Yeun Ha

摘要:

利用分子动力学模拟、标度分析和解析计算,研究了直径为$D$的圆柱形空腔内自回避链的力致变形.我们得到并确认一个简单的标度关系$-f \cdot D \sim R^{-9/4}$在强压缩制度,而对于弱变形,我们发现$f \cdot D = -A(R/R_0) + B (R/R_0)^{-2}$,其中$A$和$B$是常数,$f$的外力,和$R$的链延伸(与$R_0$其未扰动值)。对于一个强的拉伸,我们提出了一个普遍的,分析力的延伸关系。我们的研究结果可用于分析生物分子在约束条件下的行为。

英文摘要:

Force-induced deformations of a self-avoiding chain confined inside a cylindrical cavity, with diameter $D$, are probed using molecular dynamics simulations, scaling analysis, and analytical calculations. We obtain and confirm a simple scaling relation $-f \cdot D \sim R^{-9/4}$ in the strong-compression regime, while for weak deformations we find $f \cdot D = -A(R/R_0) + B (R/R_0)^{-2}$, where $A$ and $B$ are constants, $f$ the external force, and $R$ the chain extension (with $R_0$ its unperturbed value). For a strong stretch, we present a universal, analytical force-extension relation. Our results can be used to analyze the behavior of biomolecules in confinement.
