Effect of Bending Anisotropy on the 3D Conformation of Short DNA Loops
Davood Norouzi, Farshid Mohammad-Rafiee, Ramin Golestanian
The equilibrium three dimensional shape of relatively short loops of DNA is studied using an elastic model that takes into account anisotropy in bending rigidities. Using a reasona…
On the effective charge of hydrophobic polyelectrolytes
Alexei Chepelianskii, Farshid Mohammad-Rafiee, Elie Raphael
In this paper we analyze the behavior of hydrophobic polyelectrolytes. It has been proposed that this system adopts a pearl-necklace structure reminiscent of the Rayleigh instabili…
Theory of Nucleosome Corkscrew Sliding in the Presence of Synthetic DNA Ligands
Farshid Mohammad-Rafiee, Igor M. Kulic, H. Schiessel
Histone octamers show a heat-induced mobility along DNA. Recent theoretical studies have established two mechanisms that are qualitatively and quantitatively compatible with in vit…
