In an effort to answer the much-debated question of whether the time evolution of common experimental observables can be described as one-dimensional diffusion in the potential of mean force, we propose a simple criterion that allows one to test whether the Markov assumption is applicable to a single-molecule trajectory x( t). This test does not involve fitting of the data to any presupposed model and can be applied to experimental data with relatively low temporal resolution.
为了回答一个备受争议的问题,即常见实验可观测量的时间演化是否可以描述为在平均力势中的一维扩散,我们提出了一个简单的标准,该标准可以用来检验马尔可夫假设是否适用于单分子轨迹x(t)。这个检验不涉及将数据拟合到任何预先设定的模型,并且可以应用于时间分辨率相对较低的实验数据。
