Abstract

Brownian dynamics simulations of the distribution of reaction times for Forster energy migration between the two ends of a polymer chain in solution have been carried out. The distribution is non-exponential and broad in almost all cases except when the Forster radius $R_F$ is close to the mean radius $R_0$ of the polymer chain. Similar results are also obtained for the Heaviside sink function.
