Underwound DNA under tension: structure, elasticity, and sequence-dependent behaviors.
DNA melting under torsion plays an important role in a wide variety of cellular processes. In the present Letter, we have investigated DNA melting at the single-molecule level using an angular optical trap. By directly measuring force, extension, torque, and angle of DNA, we determined the structural and elastic parameters of torsionally melted DNA. Our data reveal that under moderate forces, t...
متن کاملDNA: Sequence, Structure and Supercoiling
DNA structures It is now 30 years since Watson & Crick (1953) proposed the base-paired double helical structure for DNA. Although the details of the structure in terms of the precise torsion angles adopted along the deoxyribose-phosphate backbone have undergone considerable revision and refinement, the essential nature of the structure was of course correct, and has subsequently stimulated the ...
متن کاملSequence-dependent DNA structure: a database of octamer structural parameters.
We have constructed the potential energy surfaces for all unique tetramers, hexamers and octamers in double helical DNA, as a function of the two principal degrees of freedom, slide and shift at the central step. From these potential energy maps, we have calculated a database of structural and flexibility properties for each of these sequences. These properties include: the values of each of th...
متن کاملStructure-based carbon nanotube sorting by sequence-dependent DNA assembly.
Wrapping of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) was found to be sequence-dependent. A systematic search of the ssDNA library selected a sequence d(GT)n, n = 10 to 45 that self-assembles into a helical structure around individual nanotubes in such a way that the electrostatics of the DNA-CNT hybrid depends on tube diameter and electronic properties, enabling nanotube separatio...
متن کاملSequence Dependent Elasticity of DNA
The DNA contained in every living cell not only stores the genetic information; it functions in a complex molecular network that can condense, transcribe, replicate and repair genes. The essential role played by the sequence dependent structure and deformability of DNA in these basic processes of life, has received increasing attention over the past years. The present work aims at better unders...
