TL;DR: The theoretical results show very good quantitative agreements with the experimental data in many aspects, such as the strong dependence on ϕ, the large deviation from Stokes-Einstein relation particularly for small particles, as well as the effects of the PEG molecular weight.

TL;DR: Simulation results show that the long-time diffusion coefficients satisfy perfectly the scaling relation found by experimental observations, and HI affects diffusion through decreasing the diffusive activation energy on the one hand while increasing the effective diffusion size on the other.

TL;DR: A theoretical framework based on a generalized Langevin equation with fractional Gaussian noise and power-law memory kernel to study the kinetics of macromolecular transitions to address the effects of dynamic disorder on barrier-crossing kinetics under external pulling force suggests that dynamic disorder is an important factor that should be taken into account properly in accurate interpretations of single-molecule pulling experiments.

TL;DR: It is shown that another type of instability of a shock wave can exist even though the perturbed state is thermodynamic stable, and the important role of the internal degrees of freedom is shown explicitly.
