متن کاملHuman mitochondrial DNA is packaged with TFAM.
Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), a member of the high mobility group proteins, is essential for maintenance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Most TFAM and mtDNA (both of which are normally soluble) was recovered from the particulate fraction of human placental mitochondria when extracted with the non-ionic detergent Nonidet P-40. mtDNA and TFAM were co-immunoprecipitated by anti-TFAM a...
متن کاملElastic Rod Model of a Supercoiled DNA Molecule
We study the elastic behaviour of a supercoiled DNA molecule. The simplest model is that of a rod like chain, involving two elastic constants, the bending and the twist rigidities. Writing this model in terms of Euler angles, we show that the corresponding Hamiltonian is singular and needs a small distance cutoff, which is a natural length scale giving the limit of validity of the model, of the...
متن کاملElastic model of DNA supercoiling in the infinite-length limit
The energies of plectonemic and toroidal supercoiled DNA are calculated by treating DNA as an elastic rod with a finite radius. End effects are ignored and all extensive quantities (e.g., writhe, bend energy) are treated as linear densities (writhe per unit length, bend energy per unit length). Minimum energy configurations are found. For plectonemic DNA, the superhelical pitch angle cz is in t...
متن کاملAn elastic rod model for anguilliform swimming.
We develop a model for anguilliform (eel-like) swimming as an elastic rod actuated via time-dependent intrinsic curvature and subject to hydrodynamic drag forces, the latter as proposed by Taylor (in Proc Roy Proc Lond A 214:158-183, 1952). We employ a eometrically exact theory and discretize the resulting nonlinear partial differential evolution both to perform numerical simulations, and to co...
