摘要

We verify both theoretically and by simulation that an AC electric field, with a frequency much higher than the dissociation rate, can significantly accelerate the dissociation rate of biological molecules under isothermal conditions. The cumulative effect of the AC field is shown to break a key bottleneck by reducing the entropy (and increasing the free energy of the local minimum) via the alignment of the molecular dipole with the field. For frequencies below a resonant frequency which corresponds to the inverse Debye dipole relaxation time, the dissociation rate can be accelerated by a factor that scales as omega(epsilon'(omega)-1)E-0(2), where omega is the field frequency, E-0 is the field amplitude, and epsilon'(omega) is the frequency-dependent real permittivity of the molecule. At large amplitudes, we find that the accelerated melting rate becomes universal, independent of duplex size and sequence, which is in drastic contrast to Ohmic thermal melting. We confirm our theory with isothermal all-atomic molecular dynamics simulation of short DNA duplexes with known melting rates, demonstrating several orders in enhancement with realistic fields.
