Overtwisting induces polygonal shapes in bent DNA
Michele Caraglio, Enrico Skoruppa, Enrico Carlon
By combining analytical results and simulations of various coarse-grained models we investigate the minimal energy shape of DNA minicircles which are torsionally constrained by an…
Twist-bend coupling and the statistical mechanics of the twistable worm-like chain model of DNA: perturbation theory and beyond
Stefanos K. Nomidis, Enrico Skoruppa, Enrico Carlon +1
The simplest model of DNA mechanics describes the double helix as a continuous rod with twist and bend elasticity. Recent work has discussed the relevance of a little-studied coupl…
The influence of absorbing boundary conditions on the transition path times statistics
Michele Caraglio, Stefanie Put, Enrico Carlon +1
We derive an analytical expression for the transition path time (TPT) distribution for a one-dimensional particle crossing a parabolic barrier. The solution is expressed in terms o…
DNA capture into the ClyA nanopore: diffusion-limited versus reaction-limited processes
Stefanos K. Nomidis, Jef Hooyberghs, Giovanni Maglia +1
The capture and translocation of biomolecules through nanometer-scale pores are processes with a potential large number of applications, and hence they have been intensively studie…
