Diffusion enhancement in bacterial cytoplasm through an active random force
Experiments have found that diffusion in metabolically active cells is much faster than in dormant cells, especially for large particles. However, the mechanism of this size-dependent diffusion enhancement in living cells is still unclear. In this Letter, we approximate the net effect of metabolic p...
