去氧核醣核酸(DNA)分子處於奈米通道之運動狀態，一直是研究分子生物學的重點。將自製的壓克力通道放置在震動平台上，並使金屬珠鏈放入其振動台上的壓克力通道中，藉由振動台的震盪進行來模擬去氧核醣核酸分子處於奈米通道下的布朗運動將是本篇論文實驗的主軸。
針對去氧核醣核酸分子處於奈米通道之運動狀態。有兩個重要的理論為de Gennes理論(de Gennes' blob theory)與Odijk理論(Odijk's theory)。 de Gennes' blob theory描述的現象是通道寬度遠大於持續長度(ξp)，束縛較小的狀況；而Odijk's theory描述的現象是通道寬度遠小於持續長度(ξp)，束縛較大的狀況。在金屬珠鏈模擬去氧核醣核酸分子實驗中，已有文獻[14]利用此模擬研究許多性質，而在本篇論文中主要延續文獻[14]的概念並針對Odijk's區域下的去氧核醣核酸(DNA)分子作運動其統計性質的驗證—在金屬珠鏈的模擬看到與去氧核醣核酸分子相似的性質。
