Effects of the target aspect ratio and intrinsic reactivity onto diffusive search in bounded domains

Effects of the target aspect ratio and intrinsic reactivity onto diffusive search in bounded domains

We study the mean first passage time (MFPT) to a reaction event on a specific site in a cylindrical geometry—characteristic, for instance, for bacterial cells, with a concentric inner cylinder representing the nuclear region of the bacterial cell. A similar problem emerges in the description of a di...
