Mechanical response of plectonemic DNA: an analytical solution

N. Clauvelin, B. Audoly, S. Neukirch

摘要:

我们考虑一个弹性杆模型扭曲的DNA plectonemic制度。分子被视为一个不可穿透的管,具有有效的,可调节的半径。该模型求解解析,我们推导出的接触压力,扭矩和几何参数的超螺旋区域的公式。我们将我们的模型的DNA分子受到的张力和扭矩的磁镊子实验,并提取的实验响应曲线的线性部分的机械和几何量。这些重建的值是在一个独立的方式,并被发现与文献中提供的是一致的。

英文摘要:

We consider an elastic rod model for twisted DNA in the plectonemic regime. The molecule is treated as an impenetrable tube with an effective, adjustable radius. The model is solved analytically and we derive formulas for the contact pressure, twisting moment and geometrical parameters of the supercoiled region. We apply our model to magnetic tweezer experiments of a DNA molecule subjected to a tensile force and a torque, and extract mechanical and geometrical quantities from the linear part of the experimental response curve. These reconstructed values are derived in a self-contained manner, and are found to be consistent with those available in the literature.
