Strongly bent double-stranded DNA: reconciling theory and experiment
Aleksander V. Drozdetski, Abhishek Mukhopadhyay, Alexey V. Onufriev
The strong bending of polymers is poorly understood. We propose a general quantitative framework of polymer bending that includes both the weak and strong bending regimes on the sa…
Multi-shell model of ion-induced nucleic acid condensation
Igor S. Tolokh, Aleksander Drozdetski, Lois Pollack +2
We present a semi-quantitative model of condensation of short nucleic acid (NA) duplexes induced by tri-valent cobalt(III) hexammine (CoHex) ions. The model is based on partitionin…
Accurate Evaluation of Charge Asymmetry in Aqueous Solvation
Abhishek Mukhopadhyay, Igor S. Tolokh, Alexey V. Onufriev
Charge hydration asymmetry (CHA)--a characteristic dependence of hydration free energy on the sign of the solute charge--quantifies the asymmetric response of water to electric fie…
