粗粒DNA模型的结构、力学和热力学性质

Structural, mechanical and thermodynamic properties of a coarse-grained DNA model

Thomas E. Ouldridge, Ard A. Louis, Jonathan P. K. Doye

摘要:

我们详细探讨了DNA的粗粒度模型的结构,机械和热力学性质类似于托马斯E。Ouldridge,Ard A. Louis,Jonathan P.K. Doye,Phys. Rev. Lett. 104 178101(2010)。有效的相互作用被用来代表链连接,排除体积,碱基堆积和氢键,自然地再现了一系列的DNA行为。我们量化实验的热力学单链堆叠,双链杂交和发夹形成,以及结构特性,如单链和双链的持久性长度,和双螺旋的扭转和拉伸刚度的关系。我们还探讨了模型的代表性更复杂的图案,涉及悬空末端,凸出的基地和内部循环,堆叠和磨损的双重形成过渡的热力学的影响。

英文摘要:

We explore in detail the structural, mechanical and thermodynamic properties of a coarse-grained model of DNA similar to that introduced in Thomas E. Ouldridge, Ard A. Louis, Jonathan P.K. Doye, Phys. Rev. Lett. 104 178101 (2010). Effective interactions are used to represent chain connectivity, excluded volume, base stacking and hydrogen bonding, naturally reproducing a range of DNA behaviour. We quantify the relation to experiment of the thermodynamics of single-stranded stacking, duplex hybridization and hairpin formation, as well as structural properties such as the persistence length of single strands and duplexes, and the torsional and stretching stiffness of double helices. We also explore the model's representation of more complex motifs involving dangling ends, bulged bases and internal loops, and the effect of stacking and fraying on the thermodynamics of the duplex formation transition.
