Monte Carlo Simulation of Static and Dynamic Properties of Linear Polymer in a Crowded Environment by Deme Tesfaye Umeta, Solomon Negash Asfaw, Solomon Hailemariam Didu, Chimdessa Gashu Feyisa, Dereje Kenea Feyisa

“…We probed the static properties of the polymer by calculating the mean square of the radius of gyration and the mean square end-to-end distance of the polymer, and we found that the scaling exponents of both the mean square end-to-end distance R2 and the mean square radius of gyration Rg2 as a function of the polymer length N vary with the area fraction of crowding agents, ϕ. The dynamic properties have also been studied by exploring the translocation of the polymer. …”
