Continuous-time random walk model for the diffusive motion of helicases
V. Rodriguez-Franco, M. M. Spiering, F. Ritort +1
DNA helicases are molecular motors that use the energy from ATP hydrolysis to move along DNA, promoting the unwinding or rewinding of the double helix. Here, we use magnetic and op…
Stacking correlation length in single-stranded DNA
Xavier Viader-Godoy, Maria Manosas, Felix Ritort
Base stacking is crucial in nucleic acid stabilization, from DNA duplex hybridization to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) protein binding. While stacking energies are tiny in ssDNA, the…
Sugar-Pucker Force-Induced Transition in Single-Stranded~DNA
X. Viader-Godoy, M. Manosas, F. Ritort
The accurate knowledge of the elastic properties of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) is key to characterize the thermodynamics of molecular reactions that are studied by force spectrosc…
Cooperativity-Dependent Folding of Single-Stranded DNA
X. Viader Godoy, C. R. Pulido, B. Ibarra +2
The folding of biological macromolecules is a fundamental process of which we lack a full comprehension. Mostly studied in proteins and RNA, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) also folds,…
Single-molecule stochastic resonance
K. Hayashi, S. de Lorenzo, M. Manosas +2
Stochastic resonance (SR) is a well known phenomenon in dynamical systems. It consists of the amplification and optimization of the response of a system assisted by stochastic nois…
Improving signal-to-noise resolution in single molecule experiments using molecular constructs with short handles
N. Forns, S. de Lorenzo, M. Manosas +3
We investigate unfolding/folding force kinetics in DNA hairpins exhibiting two and three states with newly designed short dsDNA handles (29 bp) using optical tweezers. We show how…
