BROWNIAN DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS OF REVERSIBLE-REACTIONS IN ONE-DIMENSION

A Brownian dynamics algorithm is developed for simulating many-body ef fects in one dimensional competitive reversible binding of otherwise n oninteracting particles. It allows time steps hundreds of times larger than in conventional lattice random walks and enables us to simulate systems which are sufficiently large to approach the thermodynamic lim it. The asymptotic long-time behavior is compared with mean-field pred ictions.
