Diffusion-Limited Reactions in Crowded Environments.
diffusion-limited reactions
A simple way to incorporate excluded-volume effects to describe diffusion-limited reactions.
The groups of Profs. Guiseppe Foffi (Group Foffi) and Paolo De Los Rios (LBS – Laboratory of Statistical Biophysics) proposed a simple way to incorporate excluded-volume effects building on simulations of hard sphere in the presence of a sink to describe diffusion-limited reactions. The paper published in Physical Review Letters was selected for a Viewpoint in Physics.
