We analyze a random process in a random media modeling the motion of DNA nanomechanical walking devices. We consider a molecular spider restricted to a well-defined one-dimensional track and study its asymptotic behavior in an i. i. d. random environment. The spider walk is a continuous time motion of a finite ensemble of particles on the integer lattice with the jump rates determined by the environment. The particles mutual location must belong to a given finite set of configurations L, and the motion can be alternatively described as a random walk on the ladder graph Z × L in a stationary and ergodic environment. Our main result is an annealed central limit theorem for this process. We believe that the conditions of the theorem are close to necessary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
