Isoperimetric Conjugate Points with Application to the Stability of DNA Minicircles
نویسندگان
چکیده
A conjugate point test determining an index of the constrained second variation in one-dimensional isoperimetric calculus of variations problems is described. The test is then implemented numerically to determine stability properties of equilibria within a continuum mechanics model of DNA minicircles.

Starlike Functions of order α With Respect To 2(j,k)-Symmetric Conjugate Points
In this paper, we introduced and investigated starlike and convex functions of order α with respect to 2(j,k)-symmetric conjugate points and coefficient inequality for function belonging to these classes are provided . Also we obtain some convolution condition for functions belonging to this class.

We describe how the stability properties of DNA minicircles can be directly read from plots of various biologically intuitive quantities along families of equilibrium configurations. Our conclusions follow from extensions of the mathematical theory of distinguished bifurcation diagrams that are applied within the specific context of an elastic rod model of minicircles. Families of equilibria ar...

miRNAs as one of the potential therapeutic agents have been recently considered for cancer treatment. AS1411 (aptNCL) is a DNA aptamer specifically binding to nucleolin protein on the cancer cell surface with antiproliferative effect. The aim of the study was to develop a conjugate consisted of aptNCL (as targeted delivery of therapeutic agent) and miRNA let-7d (as a tumor suppressor) using two...
