Mohammadreza Niknam Hamidabad

thank you sir but links did not worked.

could you fix it?

I'm really interested in this topic

thanks in advanced

M. Niknam H.

Tapio Ala-Nissila

Hi Mohammadreza! It seems that Aalto communications have removed this link, because it's three years old. You can find a good summary of the topic in our recent review paper with Vladimir Palyulin and Ralf Metzler in Soft Matter (2014). You can download it from RG.

Best, Tapio

thank you so much

Dear professor

Is "polymer translocation" book written by Dr. Muthukumar, helpful for me?(besides the review articles)

best regards, reza

The book has a lot of stuff other than just translocation, and w.r.t. driven translocation it's already somewhat outdated. It's also not very detailed.

thank you so much sir
