Statistical Mechanics of Multiplectoneme Phases in DNA
Midas Segers, Enrico Skoruppa, Helmut Schiessel +1
A stretched DNA molecule which is also under- or overwound, undergoes a buckling transition forming intertwined looped domains called plectonemes. Here we develop a simple theory t…
Insights into elastic properties of coarse-grained DNA models: q-stiffness of cgDNA vs. cgDNA+
Wout Laeremans, Midas Segers, Aderik Voorspoels +2
Coarse-grained models have emerged as valuable tools to simulate long DNA molecules while maintaining computational efficiency. These models aim at preserving interactions among co…
Mechanisms of DNA-mediated allostery
Midas Segers, Aderik Voorspoels, Takahiro Sakaue +1
Proteins often regulate their activities via allostery - or action at a distance - in which the binding of a ligand at one binding site influences the affinity for another ligand a…
Mechanical properties of Nucleic Acids and the non-local Twistable Wormlike Chain model
Midas Segers, Aderik Voorspoels, Takahiro Sakaue +1
Mechanical properties of nucleic acids play an important role in many biological processes which often involve physical deformations of these molecules. At sufficiently long length…
Comment on "Flexibility of short DNA helices with finite-length effect: From base pairs to tens of base pairs"
Midas Segers, Enrico Skoruppa, Jan A. Stevens +3
While analyzing the persistence length of DNA atomistic simulations Wu et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 142, 125103 (2015)] introduced an empirical formula to account for the observed length…
