Mobility of bacterial protein Hfq on dsDNA; Role of C-terminus mediated transient binding
Chuan Jie Tan, Rajib Basak, Indresh Yadav +3
The mobility of protein is fundamental in the machinery of life. Here, we have investigated the effect of DNA binding in conjunction with DNA internal motion of the bacterial Hfq m…
Compaction and condensation of DNA mediated by the C-terminal domain of Hfq
Antoine Malabirade, Kai Jiang, Krzysztof Kubiak +6
Hfq is a bacterial protein that is involved in several aspects of nucleic acids metabolism. It has been described as one of the nucleoid associated proteins shaping the bacterial c…
Revisiting the anomalous bending elasticity of sharply bent DNA
Peiwen Cong, Liang Dai, Hu Chen +3
Several recent experiments suggest that sharply bent DNA has a surprisingly high bending flexibility, but the cause of this flexibility is poorly understood. Although excitation of…
Bipedal nanowalker by pure physical mechanisms
Juan Cheng, Sarangapani Sreelatha, Ruizheng Hou +4
Artificial nanowalkers are inspired by biomolecular counterparts from living cells, but remain far from comparable to the latter in design principles. The walkers reported to date…
Effects of electrostatic screening on the conformation of single DNA molecules confined in a nanochannel
Ce Zhang, Fang Zhang, Jeroen A. van Kan +1
Single T4-DNA molecules were confined in rectangular-shaped channels with a depth of 300 nm and a width in the range 150-300 nm casted in a poly(dimethylsiloxane) nanofluidic chip.…
Molecular dynamics simulation of multivalent ion mediated DNA attraction
Liang Dai, Yuguang Mu, Lars Nordenskiold +1
All atom molecular dynamics simulations with explicit water were done to study the interaction between two parallel double-stranded DNA molecules in the presence of the multivalent…
