摘要:

我们调查的聚合物崩溃的动力学,由于其单体之间形成不可逆的交联。使用接触概率$P(s)$作为依赖于化学距离$s$的尺度依赖序参量,我们的模拟表明出现了合作珠光不稳定性。也就是说,聚合物经历急剧的构象转变到一组吸收状态,其特征在于对应于平均珍珠大小的长度尺度$ξ$。该长度和过渡时间取决于聚合物平衡动力学和交联速率。我们确认实验中使用的DNA构象捕获实验在酵母这种转变。

英文摘要:

We investigate the kinetics of a polymer collapse due to the formation of irreversible crosslinks between its monomers. Using the contact probability $P(s)$ as a scale-dependent order parameter depending on the chemical distance $s$, our simulations show the emergence of a cooperative pearling instability. Namely, the polymer undergoes a sharp conformational transition to a set of absorbing states characterized by a length scale $ξ$ corresponding to the mean pearl size. This length and the transition time depend on the polymer equilibrium dynamics and the crosslinking rate. We confirm experimentally this transition using a DNA conformation capture experiment in yeast.
