Enhancing the performance of DNA surface-hybridization biosensors through target depletion
Stefanos K. Nomidis, Michal Szymonik, Tom Venken +2
DNA surface-hybridization biosensors utilize the selective hybridization of target sequences in solution to surface-immobilized probes. In this process, the target is usually assum…
Twist-bend coupling, twist waves and the shape of DNA loops
S. K. Nomidis, M. Caraglio, M. Laleman +3
By combining analytical and numerical calculations, we investigate the minimal-energy shape of short DNA loops of approximately base pairs (bp). We show that in these loops t…
Twist-bend coupling and the statistical mechanics of the twistable worm-like chain model of DNA: perturbation theory and beyond
Stefanos K. Nomidis, Enrico Skoruppa, Enrico Carlon +1
The simplest model of DNA mechanics describes the double helix as a continuous rod with twist and bend elasticity. Recent work has discussed the relevance of a little-studied coupl…
DNA capture into the ClyA nanopore: diffusion-limited versus reaction-limited processes
Stefanos K. Nomidis, Jef Hooyberghs, Giovanni Maglia +1
The capture and translocation of biomolecules through nanometer-scale pores are processes with a potential large number of applications, and hence they have been intensively studie…
Bend-Induced Twist Waves and the Structure of Nucleosomal DNA
Enrico Skoruppa, Stefanos K. Nomidis, John F. Marko +1
Recent work indicates that twist-bend coupling plays an important role in DNA micromechanics. Here we investigate its effect on bent DNA. We provide an analytical solution of the m…
DNA elasticity from coarse-grained simulations: the effect of groove asymmetry
Enrico Skoruppa, Michiel Laleman, Stefanos Nomidis +1
It is well-established that many physical properties of DNA at sufficiently long length scales can be understood by means of simple polymer models. One of the most widely used elas…
Twist-bend coupling and the torsional response of double-stranded DNA
S. K. Nomidis, F. Kriegel, W. Vanderlinden +2
Recent magnetic tweezers experiments have reported systematic deviations of the twist response of double-stranded DNA from the predictions of the twistable worm-like chain model. H…
