On the stochastic dynamics of molecular conformation
Abstract: An important functioning mechanism of biological macromolecules is the transition between different conformed states due to thermal fluctuation. In the present paper, a biological macromolecule is modeled as two strands with side chains facing each other, and its stochastic dynamics including the statistics of stationary motion and the statistics of conformational transition is studied by using the stochastic averaging method for quasi Hamiltonian systems. The theoretical results are confirmed with the results from Monte Carlo simulation.
Key words: Biological macromolecule, Thermal fluctuation, Stationary statistics, Transition time, Stochastic averaging method
