Problems of DNA entry into a cell

Pierre-Gilles de Gennes

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1999, vol. 274, issue 1, 1-7

Abstract: This paper describes some basic processes involved when a DNA molecule faces a pore and gets through. In the simple case considered here, the only driving force is a concentration difference between DNA outside and inside. For plausible conditions, the transfection time (the time required to force one molecule in) is expected to be reasonably short.
