DNA中气泡长度分布对温度和GC含量的依赖性

Dependence on temperature and GC content of bubble length distributions in DNA

G. Kalosakas, S. Ares

摘要:

我们提出的数值结果的温度依赖性的气泡长度分布在DNA片段的各种鸟嘌呤胞嘧啶(GC)浓度。碱基对开口描述的Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois模型和相应的热平衡分布的气泡通过Monte Carlo计算气泡大小的顺序高达100个碱基对。研究了气泡长度分布参数与温度和气相色谱含量的关系。我们提供简单的表达式,近似描述这些关系。同时给出了气泡平均长度的变化规律。我们发现温度依赖性的指数c出现在气泡长度的分布。如果在真实DNA的环熵指数中存在类似的依赖性,那么它可能与理解力延伸实验中的过度拉伸有关。

英文摘要:

We present numerical results on the temperature dependence of the distribution of bubble lengths in DNA segments of various guanine-cytosine (GC) concentrations. Base-pair openings are described by the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois model and the corresponding thermal equilibrium distributions of bubbles are obtained through Monte Carlo calculations for bubble sizes up to the order of a hundred base pairs. The dependence of the parameters of bubble length distribution on temperature and the GC content is investigated. We provide simple expressions which approximately describe these relations. The variation of the average bubble length is also presented. We find a temperature dependence of the exponent c that appears in the distribution of bubble lengths. If an analogous dependence exists in the loop entropy exponent of real DNA, it may be relevant to understand overstretching in force-extension experiments.
