Origins of Fine Structure in DNA Melting Curves
Arevik V. Asatryan, Albert S. Benight, Artem V. Badasyan
With the help of one-dimensional random Potts-like model we study the origins of fine structure observed on differential melting profiles of double-stranded DNA. We assess the effe…
Competition for hydrogen bond formation in the helix-coil transition and protein folding
Artem Badasyan, Shushanik A. Tonoyan, Yevgeni Sh. Mamasakhlisov +3
The problem of the helix-coil transition of biopolymers in explicit solvents, like water, with the ability for hydrogen bonding with solvent is addressed analytically using a suita…
Microscopic formulation of the Zimm-Bragg model for the helix-coil transition
A. V. Badasyan, A. Giacometti, Y. Sh. Mamasakhlisov +2
A microscopic spin model is proposed for the phenomenological Zimm-Bragg model for the helix-coil transition in biopolymers. This model is shown to provide the same thermophysical…
On the geometrical thermodynamics of chemical reactions
Manuel Santoro, Albert S. Benight
The formal structure of geometrical thermodynamics is reviewed with particular emphasis on the geometry of equilibria submanifolds. On these submanifolds thermodynamic metrics are…
