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…
Receptor-ligand rebinding kinetics in confinement
Aykut Erbas, Monica Olvera de la Cruz, John F. Marko
Rebinding kinetics of molecular ligands plays a critical role in biomachinery, from regulatory networks to protein transcription, and is also a key factor for designing drugs and h…
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…
