Modeling the effect of intercalators on the high-force stretching behavior of DNA
Koen Schakenraad, Iddo Heller, Andreas Biebricher +3
DNA is structurally and mechanically altered by the binding of intercalator molecules. Intercalation strongly affects the force-extension behavior of DNA, in particular the overstr…
Structural transitions and energy landscape for Cowpea Chlorotic Mottle Virus capsid mechanics from nanomanipulation in vitro and in silico
Olga Kononova, Joost Snijder, Melanie Brasch +6
Physical properties of capsids of plant and animal viruses are important factors in capsid self-assembly, survival of viruses in the extracellular environment, and their cell infec…
Fluctuating Nonlinear Spring Model of Mechanical Deformation of Biological Particles
Olga Kononova, Joost Snijder, Kenneth A. Marx +3
We present a new theory for modeling forced indentation spectral lineshapes of biological particles, which considers non-linear Hertzian deformation due to an indenter-particle phy…
