Characterization of nanopores with internal cavities for DNA manipulation using Langevin dynamics simulations
… of medium length: both longer and shorter chains take longer to translocate. The length at which this occurs is named the critical length. This phenomenon arises as a balance between the driving electric force field and the entropic barrier that must be overcome in order for the polymer to …
