Characterizing the bending and flexibility induced by bulges in DNA duplexes
John S. Schreck, Thomas E. Ouldridge, Flavio Romano +2
Advances in DNA nanotechnology have stimulated the search for simple motifs that can be used to control the properties of DNA nanostructures. One such motif, which has been used ex…

DNA hairpins primarily promote duplex melting rather than inhibiting hybridization
John S. Schreck, Thomas E. Ouldridge, Flavio Romano +4
The effect of secondary structure on DNA duplex formation is poorly understood. We use a coarse-grained model of DNA to show that specific 3- and 4-base pair hairpins reduce hybrid…
