Dynamics of semiflexible ring polymer in chiral Brownian particles bath
Source abstract
Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the dynamic behavior of ring polymer in a bath containing a high concentration of chiral Brownian particles. The chiral Brownian particles around the chain drive the ring polymer to deform, and torque acting on ring is produced and drive the ring to rotate in one direction. Furthermore, the relationship between the ring's rotation speed and the angular velocity of the surrounding Brownian particles is not monotonically linear. The rotation of the ring chain increases initially, then decreases as the angular velocity of the Brownian particle increases. These findings offer a theoretical framework for investigating the conformation and motion properties of polymer macromolecules in Brownian particle systems.
