Bending tensions and the bending rigidity of fluid membranes
It is shown theoretically that the lateral tension associated with bending
متن کاملSequence dependence of DNA bending rigidity.
For many aspects of DNA-protein interaction, it is vital to know how DNA bending rigidity (or persistence length, a) depends on its sequence. We addressed this problem using the method based on cyclization of short DNA fragments, which allows very accurate determination of a. Our approach was based on assigning specific values of a to each of 10 distinct dinucleotide steps. We prepared DNA frag...
متن کاملThe bending rigidity of mitotic chromosomes.
The bending rigidities of mitotic chromosomes isolated from cultured N. viridescens (newt) and Xenopus epithelial cells were measured by observing their spontaneous thermal bending fluctuations. When combined with simultaneous measurement of stretching elasticity, these measurements constrain models for higher order mitotic chromosome structure. We measured bending rigidities of B approximately...
متن کاملCharge–Fluctuation–Induced Non–analytic Bending Rigidity
In this Letter, we consider a neutral system of mobile positive and negative charges confined on the surface of curved films. This may be an appropriate model for: i) a highly charged membrane whose counterions are confined to a sheath near its surface; ii) a membrane composed of an equimolar mixture of anionic and cationic surfactants in aqueous solution. We find that the charge fluctuations c...
متن کاملBending Fields, Rigidity, and the Bellows Conjecture
Aleksandrov and Pogorelov used bending fields (the velocity fields of continuous isometric deformations) to show infinitesimal rigidity of some classes of surfaces ([2] and [12]). Bending fields (and the rigidity matrix) were also successfully employed in the study of infinitesimal rigidity of polyhedra and tensegrity frameworks (see [7]). We will use these tools to re-derive a previously known...
