Dynamics of polymer packaging.
- Abstract:
-
We use the stochastic rotation dynamics algorithm to investigate the packaging of flexible and semiflexible polymers into a capsid that is permeable to solvent molecules. The model takes into account hydrodynamic interactions arising due to local flow. The flexible chain maintains a random configuration as it is being fed into the capsid, in contrast to the semiflexible chain, whose configuration is initially spool-like, becoming more random at high packing. We measure the packing rate, which...
