Kinetics of the polymer collapse transition: the role of hydrodynamics.
- Abstract:
-
We investigate numerically the dynamical behavior of a polymer chain collapsing in a dilute solution. The rate of collapse is measured with and without the presence of hydrodynamic interactions. We find that hydrodynamic interactions accelerate polymer collapse. We present a scaling theory describing the physical process responsible for the collapse kinetics. Predicted collapse times in a hydrodynamic (tauH approximately N(4/3)) and a Brownian heat bath (tauB approximately N2) agree well with...
