Thermodynamic simulations of DNA tile self-assembly
ABSTRACT Self-assembling DNA complexes have been intensively studied in recent years aiming to achieve bottom-up construction of nanoscale objects. Among them, a DNA complex called DNA tile is known for its high programmability. By using a set of DNA tiles, we are able to self-assemble twodimensional crystals with programmable patterns. This is called algorithmic self-assembly. In order to crea...
متن کاملThe Thermodynamic Covariance Principle
Onsager’s theory is based on three assumptions [1,2]: i) The probability distribution function for the fluctuations of thermodynamic quantities (Temperature, pressure, degree of advancement of a chemical reaction etc.) is a Maxwellian ii) Fluctuations decay according to a linear law and iii) The principle of the detailed balance (or the microscopic reversibility) is satisfied. Onsager showed th...
متن کاملIsolation and identification of Eurotium species from contaminated rice by morphology and DNA sequencing
30 milled rice samples were collected from retailers in four states of Malaysia. These samples were evaluated for Eurotium spp. contaminations by direct plating on malt extract salt agar (MESA). All Eurotium were isolated and identified based on morphology and nucleotide sequences of internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) and ITS2 of the rDNA. Four Eurotium species (E. rubrum, E. amstelodami, E....
متن کاملBubbles and denaturation in DNA.
The local opening of DNA is an intriguing phenomenon from a statistical-physics point of view, but is also essential for its biological function. For instance, the transcription and replication of our genetic code cannot take place without the unwinding of the DNA double helix. Although these biological processes are driven by proteins, there might well be a relation between these biological op...
متن کاملDenaturation of Heterogeneous DNA
The effect of heterogeneous sequence composition on the denaturation of double stranded DNA is investigated. The resulting pair-binding energy variation is found to have a negligible effect on the critical properties of the smooth second order melting transition in the simplest (Peyrard-Bishop) model. However, sequence heterogeneity is dramatically amplified upon adopting a more realistic treat...
