When Knots are Plectonemes
Fei Zheng, Antonio Suma, Christopher Maffeo +6
The transport of DNA polymers through nanoscale pores is central to many biological processes, from bacterial gene exchange to viral infection. In single-molecule nanopore sensing,…
Electric field of DNA in solution: who is in charge?
Jonathan G. Hedley, Kush Coshic, Aleksei Aksimentiev +1
In solution, DNA is a highly charged macromolecule which bears a unit of negative charge on each phosphate of its sugar-phosphate backbone. Although partially compensated by counte…
A DNA turbine powered by a transmembrane potential across a nanopore
Xin Shi, Anna-Katharina Pumm, Christopher Maffeo +8
Rotary motors play key roles in energy transduction, from macroscale windmills to nanoscale turbines such as ATP synthase in cells. Despite our capabilities to construct engines at…
Improved Parameterization of Amine-Carboxyate and Amine-Phosphate Interactions for Molecular Dynamics Simulations Using the CHARMM and AMBER Force Fields
Jejoong Yoo, Aleksei Aksimentiev
Over the past decades, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of biomolecules have become a mainstream biophysics technique. As the length and time scales amenable to the MD method in…
