The Polymer Physics of Kinetoplast DNA as a Polymerised Membrane
Takahiro Sakaue, Davide Michieletto
We analyze the conformational and dynamical properties of the kinetoplast DNA (kDNA), a massive sheet-like structure made from thousands of circular DNA molecules, found in the mit…
Nonequilibrium diffusion of active particles bound to a semi-flexible polymer network: simulations and fractional Langevin equation
HyeongTark Han, Sungmin Joo, Takahiro Sakaue +1
In a viscoelastic environment, the diffusion of a particle becomes non-Markovian due to the memory effect. An open question is to quantitatively explain how self-propulsion particl…
Coarse-graining DNA: Symmetry, non-local elasticity and persistence length
Yair Augusto Gutierrez Fosado, Fabio Landuzzi, Takahiro Sakaue
While the behavior of double stranded DNA at mesoscopic scales is fairly well understood, less is known about its relation to the rich mechanical properties in the base-pair scale,…
Dynamical Entanglement and Cooperative Dynamics in Entangled Solutions of Ring and Linear Polymers
Davide Michieletto, Takahiro Sakaue
Understanding how entanglements affect the behaviour of polymeric complex fluids is an open challenge in many fields. To elucidate the nature and consequence of entanglements in de…
Persistence Homology Of Entangled Rings
Fabio Landuzzi, Takenobu Nakamura, Davide Michieletto +1
Topological constraints (TCs) between polymers determine the behaviour of complex fluids such as creams, oils and plastics. Most of the polymer solutions used every day life employ…
Twist dynamics and buckling instability of ring DNA: Effect of groove asymmetry and anisotropic bending
Yair Augusto Gutierrez Fosado, Fabio Landuzzi, Takahiro Sakaue
By combining analytical theory and Molecular Dynamics simulations we study the relaxation dynamics of DNA circular plasmids that initially undergo a local twist perturbation. We id…
