Structure and mechanical characterization of DNA i-motif nanowires by molecular dynamics simulation
Raghvendra Pratap Singh, Ralf Blossey, Fabrizio Cleri
We studied the structure and mechanical properties of DNA i-motif nanowires by means of molecular dynamics computer simulations. We built up to 230 nm long nanowires, based on a re…
Theory and Monte Carlo simulations for the stretching of flexible and semi-flexible single polymer chains under external fields
Fabio Manca, Stefano Giordano, Pier Luca Palla +2
Recent developments of microscopic mechanical experiments allow the manipulation of individual polymer molecules in two main ways: \textit{uniform} stretching by external forces an…
Theory of single-molecule experiments in the overstretching force regime
Fabio Manca, Stefano Giordano, Pier Luca Palla +2
We present a statistical mechanics analysis of the finite-size elasticity of biopolymers, consisting of domains which can exhibit transitions between more than one stable state at…
