Pathways of polaron and bipolaron transport in DNA double strands.
We investigate the pathways of polaron and bipolaron transports in DNA double strands with an extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model involving the effects of solvent polarization. We find that the long-range transport of polaron/bipolaron under high electric field at low temperature is the field-facilitated sequential tunneling through spatial-disordered potential barriers via multiple intrastrand...
متن کاملSimultaneous AFM manipulation and fluorescence imaging of single DNA strands.
We report combined atomic force and far-field fluorescence microscopic experiments which allow the simultaneous atomic force manipulation and optical observation of individual dye-labeled DNA molecules. A detailed understanding of the binding properties of DNA to different transparent surfaces is prerequisite for these investigations. Atomic force spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy of sin...
متن کاملParallelizing Assignment Problem with DNA Strands
Background:Many problems of combinatorial optimization, which are solvable only in exponential time, are known to be Non-Deterministic Polynomial hard (NP-hard). With the advent of parallel machines, new opportunities have been emerged to develop the effective solutions for NP-hard problems. However, solving these problems in polynomial time needs massive parallel machines and ...
متن کاملDetachment of segments from DNA double strands as detected by time resolved Rayleigh light scattering.
Calf thymus DNA was irradiated oxygen saturated 0.01 N NaCl solution with 2 mus pulses of 15 MeV electrons. By monitoring the decrease of light scattering intensity after the pulse, two modes of decrease were detected: The fast decrease (tau 1/2 approximately 0.8 ms) is ascribed to the separation of DNA fragments produced by double strand breaks at positions directly opposite to each other. The...
متن کاملOpening of DNA double strands by helicases. Active versus passive opening
Helicase opening of double-stranded nucleic acids may be “active” (the helicase directly destabilizes the dsNA to promote opening) or “passive” (the helicase binds ssNA available due to a thermal fluctuation which opens part of the dsNA). We describe helicase opening of dsNA, based on helicases which bind single NA strands and move towards the double-stranded region, using a discrete “hopping” ...
