Monte Carlo implementation of supercoiled double-stranded DNA.
Metropolis Monte Carlo simulation is used to investigate the elasticity of torsionally stressed double-stranded DNA, in which twist and supercoiling are incorporated as a natural result of base-stacking interaction and backbone bending constrained by hydrogen bonds formed between DNA complementary nucleotide bases. Three evident regimes are found in extension versus torsion and force versus ext...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo Study of Knots in Long Double-Stranded DNA Chains
We determine knotting probabilities and typical sizes of knots in double-stranded DNA for chains of up to half a million base pairs with computer simulations of a coarse-grained bead-stick model: Single trefoil knots and composite knots which include at least one trefoil as a prime factor are shown to be common in DNA chains exceeding 250,000 base pairs, assuming physiologically relevant salt c...
متن کاملApproach to Monte Carlo calculation of the buckling of supercoiled DNA loops.
The short supercoiled circular DNA molecules are shown to be glassy systems and canonical Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations of the systems tend to get stuck in local metastable energy basins. A Monte Carlo algorithm is developed to alleviate the problem of "ergodicity breaking" of the glassy systems, in which the Markov process is driven by an explicitly analytic weight factor with enhanced pr...

متن کاملTotal skin electron therapy (TSET): Monte Carlo Simulation and implementation
Introduction: Total skin electron irradiation technique is used in treatment of the mycosis fungoid. The implementation of this technique requires non-standard measurements and complex dosimetry methods. Operating procedures for total skin electron irradiation and its dosimetry vary in different radiation therapy centers in the world. In this article, validation of TSET techniq...
