Stochastic Resonance of a Flexible Chain Crossing over a Barrier

We study the stochastic resonance (SR) of a flexible polymer surmounting a bistable-potential barrier. Due to the flexibility that can enhance crossing rate and change chain conformations at the barrier, the SR behaviors manifest many features of an entropic SR of a new kind, such as the power amplification peaks at optimal chain lengths and elastic constants as well as the optimal noise strengths. The pronounced peaks that emerge depending on the chain lengths and conformation states suggest novel means of manipulating biopolymers, such as efficient separation methods, within undulating channels.
