Direct pairing of homologous DNA double helices may involve the B-to-C form transition
Alexey K. Mazur, Eugene Gladyshev
In many organisms, homologous (or repetitive) chromosomal regions can associate or/and undergo concerted epigenetic changes in the absence of DNA breakage and recombination. The di…
Direct homologous dsDNA-dsDNA pairing: how, where and why?
Alexey K. Mazur, Tinh-Suong Nguyen, Eugene Gladyshev
The ability of homologous chromosomes (or selected chromosomal loci) to pair specifically in the apparent absence of DNA breakage and recombination represents a prominent feature o…
Weak Nanoscale Chaos And Anomalous Relaxation in DNA
Alexey K. Mazur
Anomalous non-exponential relaxation in hydrated biomolecules is commonly attributed to the complexity of the free-energy landscapes, similarly to polymers and glasses. It was foun…
Homologous Pairing between Long DNA Double Helices
Alexey K. Mazur
Molecular recognition between two double stranded (ds) DNA with homologous sequences may not seem compatible with the B-DNA structure because the sequence information is hidden whe…
Algebraic statistics of Poincaré recurrences in DNA molecule
Alexey K. Mazur, D. L. Shepelyansky
Statistics of Poincaré recurrences is studied for the base-pair breathing dynamics of an all-atom DNA molecule in realistic aqueous environment with thousands of degrees of freedom…
DNA flexibility on short length scales probed by atomic force microscopy
Alexey K. Mazur, Mounir Maaloum
Unusually high bending flexibility has been recently reported for DNA on short length scales. We use atomic force microscopy (AFM) in solution to obtain a direct estimate of DNA be…
