Ligand capture by randomly distributed traps

Abstract

In this thesis, the decay of ligands in randomly distributed traps is studied by using the analogy between the Schrodinger equation and the diffusion equation and Feynman path integration. We assume that the interaction between ligands and traps is the random potential whose form is the Gaussian function. The result shows that the form of decay is the function of exp(-tm) where 1<m<2.
