Diffusion and segmental dynamics of double-stranded DNA.
Diffusion and segmental dynamics of the double-stranded lambda-phage DNA polymer are quantitatively studied over the transition range from stiff to semiflexible chains. Spectroscopy of fluorescence fluctuations of single-end fluorescently labeled monodisperse DNA fragments unambiguously shows that double-stranded DNA in the length range of 10(2) - 2 x 10(4) base pairs behaves as a semiflexible ...
متن کاملA double-stranded DNA rotaxane.
Mechanically interlocked molecules such as rotaxanes and catenanes have potential as components of molecular machinery. Rotaxanes consist of a dumb-bell-shaped molecule encircled by a macrocycle that can move unhindered along the axle, trapped by bulky stoppers. Previously, rotaxanes have been made from a variety of molecules, but not from DNA. Here, we report the design, assembly and character...
متن کاملNonlinear waves in double-stranded DNA.
We propose a nonlinear model derived from first principles, to describe bubble dynamics of DNA. Our model equations include a term derived from the dissipative effect of intermolecular vibrational modes. Such modes are excited by the propagating bubble, and we term this 'curvature dissipation'. The equations that we derive allow for stable pinned localized kinks which form the bubble. We perfor...
متن کاملBubble relaxation dynamics in double-stranded DNA.
This paper deals with the two-state (opening-closing of base pairs) model used to describe the fluctuation dynamics of a single bubble formation. We present an exact solution for the discrete and finite size version of the model that includes end effects and derive analytic expressions of the correlation function, survival probability, and lifetimes for the bubble relaxation dynamics. It is sho...
متن کاملBubble dynamics in double-stranded DNA.
We report the first measurement of the dynamics of bubble formation in double-stranded DNA. Fluctuations of fluorescence of a synthetic DNA construct, internally tagged with a fluorophore and a quencher, are monitored by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. The relaxation dynamics follow a multistate relaxation kinetics, with a characteristic time scale of 50 microseconds. A simple model of b...
