The Rouse Model of Viscoelasticity and Diffusion Behavior of Chromatin

  • Published:
Journal of Contemporary Physics (Armenian Academy of Sciences) Aims and scope

Abstract

A dynamic model of a polymer chain is presented, in which the effects of viscoelasticity in the framework of the standard model of the linear body is taken into account. The general solution for the motion equation of the Fourier–Laplace components of the coordinates of the monomers of the polymer chain is obtained. The diffusion behavior of the center of mass of the polymer chain is analyzed for the relaxation dynamics of the system.
