Statistical method for A-RNA and B-DNA
Marco Zoli
Nucleic acids have been regarded as stiff polymers with long-range flexibility and generally modeled using elastic rod models of polymer physics. Notwithstanding, investigations ca…
Twist-stretch relations in nucleic acids
Marco Zoli
Nucleic acids are highly deformable helical molecules constantly stretched, twisted and bent in their biological functioning. Single molecule experiments have shown that double str…
Mesoscopic helical models for DNA
Marco Zoli
Nucleic acids physical properties have been investigated by theoretical methods based both on fully atomistic representations and on coarse grained models, e.g. the worm-like-chain…
Stacking Interactions in Denaturation of DNA Fragments
Marco Zoli
A mesoscopic model for heterogeneous DNA denaturation is developed in the framework of the path integral formalism. The base pair stretchings are treated as one-dimensional, time d…
