Geometric Predictors of Knotted and Linked Arcs
Joseph L Sleiman, Robin H Burton, Michele Caraglio +2
Inspired by how certain proteins "sense" knots and entanglements in DNA molecules, here we ask if there exist local geometric features that may be used as a read-out of the underly…
Coarse-graining DNA: Symmetry, non-local elasticity and persistence length
Yair Augusto Gutierrez Fosado, Fabio Landuzzi, Takahiro Sakaue
While the behavior of double stranded DNA at mesoscopic scales is fairly well understood, less is known about its relation to the rich mechanical properties in the base-pair scale,…
Nanostars planarity modulates the elasticity of DNA hydrogels
Yair Augusto Gutierrez Fosado
In analogy with classic rigidity problems of networks and frames, the elastic properties of hydrogels made of DNA nanostars (DNAns) are expected to strongly depend on the precise g…
Twist dynamics and buckling instability of ring DNA: Effect of groove asymmetry and anisotropic bending
Yair Augusto Gutierrez Fosado, Fabio Landuzzi, Takahiro Sakaue
By combining analytical theory and Molecular Dynamics simulations we study the relaxation dynamics of DNA circular plasmids that initially undergo a local twist perturbation. We id…
