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,…
Recovery of free energy branches in single molecule experiments
Ivan Junier, Alessandro Mossa, Maria Manosas +1
We present a method for determining the free energy of coexisting states from irreversible work measurements. Our approach is based on a fluctuation relation that is valid for diss…
Force dependent fragility in RNA hairpins
M. Manosas, D. Collin, F. Ritort
We apply Kramers theory to investigate the dissociation of multiple bonds under mechanical force and interpret experimental results for the unfolding/refolding force distributions…
