Electrostatic/entropic macromolecule manipulation in nanochannel. Swapping of macromolecule locations

Abstract: Evolution of a polyion and an electrically uncharged macromolecule in confined environment, represented by a tight nanopore, induced by external electric field, is investigated. The motion of the uncharged macromolecule is forced by the polyion. In suitably selected conditions, the collision between macromolecules, compression of the uncharged macromolecule, and finally the swap of positions of macromolecules in the nanochannel are observed by means of the nonequilibrium Monte Carlo method on the lattice.

“…Numerous computer simulation studies have examined the effects of entropic repulsion for two polymers in such geometries. 1–23 Most of these studies have examined the segregation behaviour of flexible linear polymers, 1–6,8,9,11,13,16,17 though some have also investigated the behaviour of ring polymers 7,10,12,14,15,18 and more complex topologies. 22,23 In addition, the effects of bending rigidity, 11,16 a difference in the contour lengths, 21 macromolecular crowding, 12,15,18 and electrostatics 19,20 on the segregation dynamics and thermodynamics have been examined in detail.…”

Information gleaned from these studies may be useful in helping advance nanofluidic technology used in applications such as DNA sorting, 24 DNA denaturation mapping, 25,26 and genome mapping.…”
