Abstract The Chemical fluctuation theorem (CFT) based on the theory of vibrant reaction kinetics can explain gene expression processes in living cells. To broaden the application range of the CFT, we analyze reversible cyclization of a chain polymer. Analyzing the cyclization process of a polymer is important for understanding Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer used in single molecule spectroscopy. The mean of the event number and the waiting time distribution between two cyclization event times are obtained through stochastic simulation and are analyzed for number fluctuation. From this analysis, we show that the CFT can provide a quantitative explanation for number fluctuation of a polymer where renewal theory cannot. Furthermore, we find that number fluctuation of polymer cyclization can be the maximum or the minimum by both the cyclization distance. and interactions between a monomer related to solvent property.
