DNA nano-mechanics: how proteins deform the double helix
Nils B. Becker, Ralf Everaers
It is a standard exercise in mechanical engineering to infer the external forces and torques on a body from its static shape and known elastic properties. Here we apply this kind o…

DNA: From rigid base-pairs to semiflexible polymers
Nils B. Becker, Ralf Everaers
The sequence-dependent elasticity of double-helical DNA on a nm length scale can be captured by the rigid base-pair model, whose strains are the relative position and orientation o…
