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…
Statistical properties of metastable intermediates in DNA unzipping
J. M. Huguet, N. Forns, F. Ritort
We unzip DNA molecules using optical tweezers and determine the sizes of the cooperatively unzipping and zipping regions separating consecutive metastable intermediates along the u…
Dynamic force spectroscopy of DNA hairpins. II. Irreversibility and dissipation
Maria Manosas, Alessandro Mossa, Nuria Forns +2
We investigate irreversibility and dissipation in single molecules that cooperatively fold/unfold in a two state manner under the action of mechanical force. We apply path thermody…
Dynamic force spectroscopy of DNA hairpins. I. Force kinetics and free energy landscapes
Alessandro Mossa, Maria Manosas, Nuria Forns +2
We investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of DNA hairpins that fold/unfold under the action of applied mechanical force. We introduce the concept of the molecular free energy…
