要旨

Quantitative predictions are presented of a depletion-induced torque and force acting on a single colloidal hard rod immersed in a solvent of hard spheres close to a planar hard wall. This torque and force, which are entirely of entropic origin, may play an important role for the key-lock principle, according to which a biological macromolecule (the key) is functional only in a particular orientation with respect to a cavity (the lock).
