Figure 5: Simulations of fd translocations.

(a) Examples of a translocation (top of panel) and a collision (bottom of panel). The background colour maps the electric potential distribution. (b) Distributions of τ, normalized by L/υ. Black stems represent 3,751 simulated translocations with Pé≈480. Cyan bars represent 1,526 experimental fd translocations of a 26-nm-diameter nanopore with V=120 mV, for which Pé≈357. (c) Dependence of (D_||−D₀)/D₀ (black) and ρ_|R|,τ (red) on Pé. Error bars show s.d. obtained by bootstrap resampling of the data. The black line is a linear fit, fixed at the origin, to (D_||−D₀)/D₀ as a function of Pé.
