Continuous-time random walk model for the diffusive motion of helicases
V. Rodriguez-Franco, M. M. Spiering, F. Ritort +1
DNA helicases are molecular motors that use the energy from ATP hydrolysis to move along DNA, promoting the unwinding or rewinding of the double helix. Here, we use magnetic and op…

Stacking correlation length in single-stranded DNA
Xavier Viader-Godoy, Maria Manosas, Felix Ritort
Base stacking is crucial in nucleic acid stabilization, from DNA duplex hybridization to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) protein binding. While stacking energies are tiny in ssDNA, the…
