Melting of genomic DNA: Predictive modeling by nonlinear lattice dynamics.
نویسنده
چکیده
The melting behavior of long, heterogeneous DNA chains is examined within the framework of the nonlinear lattice dynamics based Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois (PBD) model. Data for the pBR322 plasmid and the complete T7 phage have been used to obtain model fits and determine parameter dependence on salt content. Melting curves predicted for the complete fd phage and the Y1 and Y2 fragments of the ϕX174 phage without any adjustable parameters are in good agreement with experiment. The calculated probabilities for single base-pair opening are consistent with values obtained from imino proton exchange experiments.

Bubbles, clusters and denaturation in genomic DNA: modeling, parametrization, efficient computation
The paper uses mesoscopic, non-linear lattice dynamics based (Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois, PBD) modeling to describe thermal properties of DNA below and near the denaturation temperature. Computationally efficient notation is introduced for the relevant statistical mechanics. Computed melting profiles of long and short heterogeneous sequences are presented, using a recently introduced reparametrizat...
متن کاملA nonlinear dynamic model of DNA with a sequence-dependent stacking term
No simple model exists that accurately describes the melting behavior and breathing dynamics of double-stranded DNA as a function of nucleotide sequence. This is especially true for homogenous and periodic DNA sequences, which exhibit large deviations in melting temperature from predictions made by additive thermodynamic contributions. Currently, no method exists for analysis of the DNA breathi...
متن کاملInvestigation of Melting by Molecular Dynamics Simulation
The melting of a 64 ion microcrystal of KCI was studied by means of a molecular dynamics computer simulation. We used a central pair interaction with an inverse power law repulsion. The thermodynamics, kinetic and structural properties such as melting temperature, latent heat, mean square displacement, diffusion constant, radial distribution function and bond angle distribution are calculated. ...
متن کاملCapturing the Crystal: Prediction of Enthalpy of Sublimation, Crystal Lattice Energy, and Melting Points of Organic Compounds
Accurate computational prediction of melting points and aqueous solubilities of organic compounds would be very useful but is notoriously difficult. Predicting the lattice energies of compounds is key to understanding and predicting their melting behavior and ultimately their solubility behavior. We report robust, predictive, quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models for enthal...
متن کاملBiomolecular dynamics of DNA: statistical mechanics and dynamical models
There is a growing feeling that biomolecular structure is not sufficient to determine biological activity which is also governed by large amplitude dynamics of the molecules. The transcription of DNA or its thermal denaturation are typical examples. Traditional approaches use Ising models to describe the denaturation transition of DNA. They have to introduce phenomenological "cooperativity fact...
