Brownian search for targets hidden in cusp-like pockets: Progress and Applications

We report here recent progress in computing the search time for a stochastic particle to find a small target hidden in cusp-like pockets. The target is a small segment in dimension two, a small hole or a narrow ribbon in dimension three, placed at the end of a cusp. The asymptotic analysis of the di...

description We report here recent progress in computing the search time for a stochastic particle to find a small target hidden in cusp-like pockets. The target is a small segment in dimension two, a small hole or a narrow ribbon in dimension three, placed at the end of a cusp. The asymptotic analysis of the diffusion equation reveals the role of the local geometry, and a mathematical difficulty comes from the boundary layer near the target. The methods are conformal mapping and matching asymptotic. We present applications in cell biology where cellular activation occurs when a diffusing particle finds a hidden site. This is the case during vesicular fusion initiated after a protein located between the vesicular and cell membranes binds to several diffusing calcium ions. Another example is a drug activation site located inside a deep molecular pocket. The analytical formulas clarify the role of small parameters.
