1/f fluctuations of DNA temperature at thermal denaturation.
We theoretically investigated the temperature fluctuations of DNA close to denaturation and observed a strong enhancement of these fluctuations at the critical temperature. Although in a much lower frequency range, such a sharp increase was also reported in the recent experimental work of Nagapriya [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 038102 (2006)]. We showed that there is instead no enhancement of temperatu...
متن کاملDirect observation of large temperature fluctuations during DNA thermal denaturation.
In this Letter, we report direct measurement of large low frequency temperature fluctuations in double stranded DNA when it undergoes a denaturation transition. The fluctuation, which occurs only in the temperature range where the denaturation occurs, is several orders more than the expected equilibrium fluctuation. It is absent in single stranded DNA of the same sequence. The fluctuation at a ...
متن کاملThermal denaturation of A-DNA
The DNA molecule can take various conformational forms. Investigations focus mainly on the so-called ‘B-form’, schematically drawn in the famous paper by Watson and Crick [1]. This is the usual form of DNA in a biological environment and is the only form that is stable in an aqueous environment. Other forms, however, can teach us much about DNA. They have the same nucleotide base pairs for ‘bui...
متن کاملPartial denaturation mapping of phage T4 DNA at low temperature.
The partial-denaturation map of T4 DNA is obtained by using benzyldodecyldimethyl ammonium chloride in the presence of a high concentration of formamide. In this way suitable conditions for preparation of electron microscope specimens and partial denaturation within a temperature range low enough to minimize the endonucleolytic cleavage, are realized. It is found that, under our experimental co...
متن کاملMechanical denaturation of DNA: existence of a low temperature denaturation
Recent theoretical predictions on DNA mechanical separation induced by pulling forces are numerically tested within a model in which self-avoidance for DNA strands is fully taken into account. DNA strands are described by interacting pairs of self avoiding walks (SAW) which are pulled apart by a force applied at the two extremities. The whole phase diagram is spanned by extensive Monte Carlo (M...
