Figure 5From: First-passage time analysis of a one-dimensional diffusion-reaction model: application to protein transport along DNARoughness dependence of the disorder-averaged mean first-passage times for various locations along a segment of DNA. Mean first-passage times (y-axis) reflect the arithmetic average of 20 realizations of the free energy profile for the conditions shown. Roughness values are expressed in units of k B T. Panels (a) through (d) characterize the influence of differing roughnesses at varying positions along the segment.Back to article page
