Probing the statistics of sequence-dependent DNA conformations in solution using SAXS

Heidar J. Koning, Anuradha Pullakhandam, Andrew E. Whitten +2

SAXS studies of four 60 base-pair DNA duplexes with sequences closely related to part of the GAGE6 (G-antigen 6) promoter have been performed to study the role of DNA conformations…

Controlling the energy flow in nonlinear lattices: a model for a thermal rectifier

M. Terraneo, M. Peyrard, G. Casati

We address the problem of heat conduction in 1-D nonlinear chains; we show that, acting on the parameter which controls the strength of the on site potential inside a segment of th…

Order of the phase transition in models of DNA thermal denaturation

Nikos Theodorakopoulos, Thierry Dauxois, Michel Peyrard

We examine the behavior of a model which describes the melting of double-stranded DNA chains. The model, with displacement-dependent stiffness constants and a Morse on-site potenti…

Mobility and diffusivity in a generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model

Oleg M. Braun, Thierry~Dauxois, Maxim V. Paliy +1

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the atomic mobility and diffusivity of a generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model which takes into account anharmonic (exponential…

Effective Breather Trapping Mechanism for DNA Transcription

Julian J. -L. Ting, Michel Peyrard

Collective coordinate and direct numerical integration methods are applied to the analysis of a one-dimensional DNA model. A modification of the coupling constant in an extended re…
