DNA charge neutralization by linear polymers. II. Reversible binding.
We model the way in which polymers bind to DNA and neutralize its charged backbone by analyzing the dynamics of the distribution of gaps along the DNA. We generalize existing theory for irreversible binding to construct deterministic models which include polymer removal, movement along the DNA, and allow for binding with overlaps. We show that reversible binding alters the capacity of the DNA f...
متن کاملReversible folding/unfolding of linear molecular strands into helical channel-like complexes upon proton-modulated binding and release of metal ions.
The binding of appropriate metal ions to linear ligand strands obtained by hydrazone polycondensations generates channel-like complexes by reversible coiling of the ligand, thus allowing the generation of ion-induced, acid-base neutralisation fueled, molecular nanomechanical contraction/extension motions of large amplitude.

Few novel cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes [M(fmp)3]Cl2, [M(fmp)(bpy)2]Cl2,[M(fmp)(phen)2]Cl2 and [M(fmp)(phen)(bpy)]Cl2 (fmp = 3-furan-2-ylmethylene-pentane-2,4-dione, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) have been synthesized andcharacterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements,IR, electronic, EPR, mass spectra and cyclic voltammetri...
متن کاملDNA charge neutralization by linear polymers: irreversible binding.
We develop a deterministic mathematical model to describe the way in which polymers bind to DNA by considering the dynamics of the gap distribution that forms when polymers bind to a DNA plasmid. In so doing, we generalize existing theory to account for overlaps and binding cooperativity whereby the polymer binding rate depends on the size of the overlap. The proposed mean-field models are then...
