Thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of RNA pulling experiments.
Recent single-molecule pulling experiments have shown how it is possible to manipulate RNA molecules using laser tweezers. In this article we investigate a minimal model for the experimental setup which includes an RNA molecule connected to two polymers (handles) and a bead trapped in the optical potential and attached to one of the handles. We start by considering the case of small single-doma...
متن کاملThermodynamic and kinetic aspects of fat crystallization.
Naturally occurring fats are multi-component mixtures of triacylglycerols (TAGs), which are triesters of fatty acids with glycerol, and of which there are many chemically distinct compounds. Due to the importance of fats to the food and consumer products industries, fat crystallization has been studied for many years and many intricate features of TAG interactions, complicated by polymorphism, ...
متن کاملThermodynamic and kinetic aspects of interfacial decohesion
Thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of interfacial decohesion are analyzed for a uniformly stressed interface in the presence of an embrittling impurity. During the interfacial separation, the impurity penetrates into the interface and reduces it cohesion. Rice (1976) and Hirth and Rice (1980) analyzed the thermodynamics of this process in great detail with emphasis on the limiting cases of infin...
متن کاملCoFold: thermodynamic RNA structure prediction with a kinetic twist
Existing state-of-the-art methods that take a single RNA sequence and predict the corresponding RNA ß are thermodynamic methods. These predict the most stable RNA structure, but do not consider the process of structure formation. We have by now ample experimental and theoretical evidence, however, that sequences in vivo fold while being transcribed and that the process of structure formation ma...
متن کاملUracil-DNA glycosylase: Structural, thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of lesion search and recognition.
Uracil appears in DNA as a result of cytosine deamination and by incorporation from the dUTP pool. As potentially mutagenic and deleterious for cell regulation, uracil must be removed from DNA. The major pathway of its repair is initiated by uracil-DNA glycosylases (UNG), ubiquitously found enzymes that hydrolyze the N-glycosidic bond of deoxyuridine in DNA. This review describes the current un...
