Chaperones distribution effects on polymer translocation through nanopores

What is it about?

Chaperone-assisted polymer translocation is the main model for translocation of biopolymers in biology. The distribution of chaperone maybe locally change. It could be, for example, more near the pore. We show that this change in the distribution could help the translocation to be faster. It may even change the scaling exponent of T vs length to less than 1.
