DNA Breathing Dynamics in the Presence of a Terahertz Field
B. S. Alexandrov, V. Gelev, A. R. Bishop +2
We consider the influence of a terahertz field on the breathing dynamics of double-stranded DNA. We model the spontaneous formation of spatially localized openings of a damped and…
Healing Length and Bubble Formation in DNA
Z. Rapti, A. Smerzi, K. O. Rasmussen +3
We have recently suggested that the probability for the formation of thermally activated DNA bubbles is, to a very good approximation, proportional to the number of soft AT pairs o…
Comment on "Can one predict DNA Transcription Start Sites by Studying Bubbles?"
C. H. Choi, A. Usheva, G. Kalosakas +2
Comment on T.S. van Erp, S. Cuesta-Lopez, J.-G. Hagmann, and M. Peyrard, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 218104 (2005) [arXiv: physics/0508094].
Lengthscales and Cooperativity in DNA Bubble Formation
Z. Rapti, A. Smerzi, K. Ø. Rasmussen +1
It appears that thermally activated DNA bubbles of different sizes play central roles in important genetic processes. Here we show that the probability for the formation of such bu…
Structurally specific thermal fluctuations identify functional sites for DNA transcription
G. Kalosakas, K. Ø. Rasmussen, A. R. Bishop +2
We report results showing that thermally-induced openings of double stranded DNA coincide with the location of functionally relevant sites for transcription. Investigating both vir…
