What do we know about DNA mechanics so far?
Abhishek Aggarwal, Supriyo Naskar, Anil Kumar Sahoo +3
The DNA molecule, apart from carrying the genetic information, plays a crucial role in a variety of biological processes and find applications in drug design, nanotechnology and na…
Ionic liquids make DNA rigid
Ashok Garai, Debostuti Ghoshdastidar, Sanjib Senapati +1
Persistence length of dsDNA is known to decrease with increase in ionic concentration of the solution. In contrast to this, here we show that persistence length of dsDNA increases…
Overstretching of B-DNA with various pulling protocols: Appearance of structural polymorphism and S-DNA
Ashok Garai, Santosh Mogurampelly, Saientan Bag +1
We report a structural polymorphism of the S-DNA when a canonical B-DNA is stretched under different pulling protocols and provide a fundamental molecular understanding of the DNA…
Single-enzyme kinetics with branched pathways: exact theory and series expansion
Ashok Garai, Debashish Chowdhury
The progress of the successive rounds of catalytic conversion of substrates into product(s) by a single enzyme is characterized by the distribution of turnover times. Establishing…
Footprint traversal by ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler motor
Ashok Garai, Jesrael Mani, Debashish Chowdhury
ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling enzymes (CRE) are bio-molecular motors in eukaryotic cells. These are driven by a chemical fuel, namely, adenosine triphosphate (ATP). CREs activ…
Stochastic kinetics of a single headed motor protein: dwell time distribution of KIF1A
Ashok Garai, Debashish Chowdhury
KIF1A, a processive single headed kinesin superfamily motor, hydrolyzes Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to move along a filamentous track called microtubule. The stochastic movement o…
