Generalized Poland-Scheraga model for DNA hybridization.
The Poland-Scheraga (PS) model for the helix-coil transition of DNA considers the statistical mechanics of the binding (or hybridization) of two complementary strands of DNA of equal length, with the restriction that only bases with the same index along the strands are allowed to bind. In this article, we extend this model by relaxing these constraints: We propose a generalization of the PS mod...
متن کاملGeneralized Poland-Scheraga model for supercoiled DNA
The Poland-Scheraga (PS) model for the helix-coil transition of DNA considers the statistical mechanics of the thermally induced binding of two complementary strands of DNA. In this paper, we show how to modify the PS model when a torque is applied to the extremities of DNA: We propose a simple model for the energy of twisted DNA and compute the entropy of a loop, subject to angular constraints...
متن کاملDNA melting structures in the generalized Poland-Scheraga model
The Poland-Scheraga model for DNA denaturation, besides playing a central role in applications, has been widely studied in the physical and mathematical literature over the past decades. More recently a natural generalization has been introduced in the biophysics literature (see in particular [10]) to overcome the limits of the original model, namely to allow an excess of bases – i.e. a differe...
متن کاملGeneralized Poland-Scheraga denaturation model and two-dimensional renewal processes
The Poland-Scheraga model describes the denaturation transition of two complementary – in particular, equally long – strands of DNA, and it has enjoyed a remarkable success both for quantitative modeling purposes and at a more theoretical level. The solvable character of the homogeneous version of the model is one of features to which its success is due. In the bio-physical literature a general...
متن کاملThe Poland-Scheraga Model 8.334 Final Project
The Poland-Scheraga (PS) Model is one of the most celebrated applications of statistical physics to biology. By relying on basic laws of statistical phase transitions the PS model describes the denaturation of DNA strands as a function of temperature according to a minimal set of assumptions. The basic model makes the prediction of a second-order phase transition in the order parameter of the s...
