DNA melting: intra base-pair dynamics and a vector generalization of the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois model
Nikos Theodorakopoulos
The Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois (PBD) model of DNA denaturation, although successful in the description of melting profiles, fails to predict melting entropies, unzipping forces and dyn…
Thermodynamics of force-induced B-DNA melting: single-strand discreteness matters
Nikos Theodorakopoulos
Overstretching of B-DNA is currently understood as force-induced melting. Depending on the geometry of the stretching experiment, the force threshold for the overstretching transit…
Kinky DNA in solution: Small angle scattering study of a nucleosome positioning sequence
Torben Schindler, Adrián González, Ramachandran Boopathi +10
DNA is a flexible molecule, but the degree of its flexibility is subject to debate. The commonly-accepted persistence length of Å is inconsistent with recent stu…
Base Pair Openings and Temperature Dependence of DNA Flexibility
Nikos Theodorakopoulos, Michel Peyrard
The relationship of base pair openings to DNA flexibility is examined. Published experimental data on the temperature dependence of the persistence length by two different groups a…
Structural correlations and melting of B-DNA fibres
Andrew Wildes, Nikos Theodorakopoulos, Jessica Valle Orero +3
Despite numerous attempts, the understanding of the thermal denaturation of DNA is still a challenge due to the lack of structural data at the transition since standard experimenta…
Bubbles, clusters and denaturation in genomic DNA: modeling, parametrization, efficient computation
Nikos Theodorakopoulos
The paper uses mesoscopic, non-linear lattice dynamics based (Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois, PBD) modeling to describe thermal properties of DNA below and near the denaturation temperatur…
