DNA气泡动力学中的圈指数

Loop exponent in DNA bubble dynamics

Vojtěch Kaiser, Tomáš Novotný

摘要:

DNA气泡的动力学是统计物理学和生物学的重要研究课题。我们提出的精确解的福克-普朗克方程的气泡动力学中存在的长程熵相互作用。从解中导出了完整的相遇时间和相遇位置概率分布。概率分布函数反映了熵相互作用的圈指数的值。我们的结果扩展了以前主要集中在概率分布函数尾部的结果,并开辟了一种通过实验确定熵相互作用强度的方法,这一直是最近讨论的问题。利用数值积分,我们还讨论了DNA链的有限尺寸对气泡动力学的影响。类似的结果也得到的情况下的亚扩散动力学的DNA泡在一个杂聚物,揭示了高度普遍的渐近会议的时间和位置的概率函数。

英文摘要:

Dynamics of DNA bubbles are of interest for both statistical physics and biology. We present exact solutions to the Fokker-Planck equation governing bubble dynamics in the presence of a long-range entropic interaction. The complete meeting time and meeting position probability distributions are derived from the solutions. Probability distribution functions reflect the value of the loop exponent of the entropic interaction. Our results extend previous results which concentrated mainly on the tails of the probability distribution functions and open a way to determining the strength of the entropic interaction experimentally which has been a matter of recent discussions. Using numerical integration, we also discuss the influence of the finite size of a DNA chain on the bubble dynamics. Analogous results are obtained also for the case of subdiffusive dynamics of a DNA bubble in a heteropolymer, revealing highly universal asymptotics of meeting time and position probability functions.
