超声波作为在DNA双链体中产生链间缺陷的手段

Hyper-sound as a means for generating inter-strand defects in a duplex of the DNA

V. Blinov, V. L. Golo

摘要:

根据无序链的Lifshits理论处理双链DNA气泡缺陷的形成。一个DNA分子被模拟在一个具有最近邻相互作用的谐波晶格上,弹性常数随机分布。螺旋对称性通过在晶格的位置处的手征场来调节。位点的数目从100到300不等,对应于持久长度的DNA片段。我们发现的弹性本征模式,模仿双链体的股间激励的频谱。频率分布在频谱的高频端显示峰和谷,与一般理论一致。外部激励可以导致可以产生晶格的局部模式的参数共振。在现实生活中,泵浦超声波可能会产生类似于本文研究的共振,从而导致DNA双链体中链间模式的激发和可能的气泡形成。

英文摘要:

The formation of bubble defects of the double stranded DNA is treated according to the Lifshits theory of disordered chains. A molecule of the DNA is modelled on a harmonic lattice with nearest neighbour interaction, elastic constants being randomly distributed. The helicoidal symmetry is accommodated through a chiral field at sites of the lattice. The number of sites varies from 100 to 300, corresponding to DNA segmnets of persistence length. We find the spectra of elastic eigen-modes that mimic inter-strand excitations of the duplex. The frequency distribution shows peaks and valleys at the high-frequency end of the spectra, in accord with the general theory. External excitations may lead to a parametric resonance that can generate localized modes of the lattice. In real life pumping hyper-sound may generate a resonance similar to that studied in this paper, and thus result in excitation of inter-strand modes and possible formation of bubbles, in the duplex of the DNA.
