Characterization of nanopores with internal cavities for DNA manipulation using Langevin dynamics simulations
Magill, Martin (2016-12-01)A novel nanopore geometry is proposed, in which a larger internal cavity is located inside a traditional nanopore. Polymer translocation through this geometry is studied using coarse-grained Langevin dynamics. The most ... -
Depletant induced attractions in red blood cells
Nehring, Austin (2018-10-01)Red blood cells suspended in plasma are able to aggregate into linearly stacked rouleau. The aggregations can form complex clusters and branching networks which cause complications in various pathological cases. The self ... -
Modelling and simulating twitching bacteria and phytoglycogen nanoparticles
Greenberg, Michael (2018-08-01)This thesis covers work conducted on two projects. Each of these projects involve application in the field of biology, and both have been completed through the use of computer simulation techniques. The first project is ... -
Opportunities for the deep neural network method of solving partial differential equations in the computational study of biomolecules driven through periodic geometries
Magill, Martin (2022-08-01)As deep learning emerged in the 2010s to become a groundbreaking technology in machine vision and natural language processing, it also ushered in many new algorithms for use in scientific research. Among these is the neural ... -
Simulation and modelling to develop a nanopore-based device for ricin detection
Hurlburt, Timothy B. (2022-08-01)Nanopore-based protein detection represents an exciting opportunity to develop ultrasensitive diagnostic devices that are both portable and affordable. Aptamer-encoded nanopores detect target molecules by binding to them ...
