Twist-diameter coupling drives DNA twist changes by salt and temperature
Chen Zhang, Fujia Tian, Ying Lu +4
DNA deformations play crucial roles in many biological processes and material applications. During DNA deformation, DNA structural parameters often exhibit non-trivial and counteri…
Predicting 3D structure and stability of RNA pseudoknots in monovalent and divalent ion solutions
Ya-Zhou Shi, Lei Jin, Chen-Jie Feng +2
RNA pseudoknots are a kind of minimal RNA tertiary structural motifs, and their three-dimensional (3D) structures and stability play essential roles in a variety of biological func…
Potential of mean force between like-charged nanoparticles: Many-body effect
Xi Zhang, Jin-Si Zhang, Ya-Zhou Shi +2
Ion-mediated interaction is important for the properties of polyelectrolytes such as colloids and nucleic acids. The effective pair interactions between two polyelectrolytes have b…
Multivalent ion-mediated nucleic acid helix-helix interactions: RNA versus DNA
Yuan-Yan Wu, Zhong-Liang Zhang, Jin-Si Zhang +2
Ion-mediated interaction is critical to the structure and stability of nucleic acids. Recent experiments suggest that the multivalent ion-induced aggregation of double-stranded (ds…
Flexibility of short DNA helices with finite-length effect: from base pairs to tens of base pairs
Yuan-Yan Wu, Lei Bao, Xi Zhang +1
Flexibility of short DNA helices is important for the biological functions such as nucleosome formation and DNA-protein recognition. Recent experiments suggest that short DNAs of t…
