Structural-elastic determination of the mechanical lifetime of biomolecules
Shiwen Guo, Qingnan Tang, Mingxi Yao +3
The lifetime of protein domains and ligand-receptor complexes under force is crucial for mechanosensitive functions, while many aspects of how force affects the lifetime still rema…
Transfer-matrix calculations of the effects of tension and torque constraints on DNA-protein interactions
Artem K. Efremov, Jie Yan
Organization and maintenance of the chromosomal DNA in living cells strongly depends on the DNA interactions with a plethora of DNA-binding proteins. Single-molecule studies show t…
Revisiting the anomalous bending elasticity of sharply bent DNA
Peiwen Cong, Liang Dai, Hu Chen +3
Several recent experiments suggest that sharply bent DNA has a surprisingly high bending flexibility, but the cause of this flexibility is poorly understood. Although excitation of…
Temperature dependence of circular DNA topological states
Hu Chen, Yanhui Liu, Zhen Zhou +3
Circular double stranded DNA has different topological states which are defined by their linking numbers. Equilibrium distribution of linking numbers can be obtained by closing a l…
Effects of kink and flexible hinge defects on mechanical responses of short double stranded DNA molecules
Hu Chen, Jie Yan
We predict various detectable mechanical responses to the presence of local DNA defects which are defined as short DNA segments exhibiting mechanical properties obviously different…
Numerical observation of non-axisymmetric vesicles in fluid membranes
Yan Jie, Liu Quan-Hui, Liu Ji-Xing +1
By means of Surface Evolver (Exp. Math,1,141 1992), a software package of brute-force energy minimization over a triangulated surface developed by the geometry center of University…
