New smoothly connecting open curves for modeling nucleosome-decorated DNA
Seyed A. Sabok-Sayr, Wilma K. Olson
We introduce an analytical method to generate the pathway of a closed protein-bound DNA minicircle. This is a general method which can be used to connect any two open curves with w…
Arginine-Phosphate Salt Bridges Between Histones and DNA: Intermolecular Actuators that Control Nucleosome Architecture
Tahir I. Yusufaly, Yun Li, Gautam Singh +1
Structural bioinformatics and van der Waals density functional theory are combined to investigate the mechanochemical impact of a major class of histone-DNA interactions, namely th…
5-Methylation of Cytosine in CG:CG Base-Pair Steps: A Physicochemical Mechanism for the Epigenetic Control of DNA Nanomechanics
Tahir I. Yusufaly, Yun Li, Wilma K. Olson
Van der Waals density functional theory is integrated with analysis of a non-redundant set of protein-DNA crystal structures from the Nucleic Acid Database to study the stacking en…
Two Perspectives on the Twist of DNA
Lauren A. Britton, Wilma K. Olson, Irwin Tobias
Because of the double-helical structure of DNA, in which two strands of complementary nucleotides intertwine around each other, a covalently closed DNA molecule with no interruptio…
