Statistical mechanics of columnar DNA assemblies.
Many physical systems can be mapped onto solved or "solvable" models of magnetism. In this work, we have mapped the statistical mechanics of columnar phases of ideally helical rigid DNA--subject to the earlier found unusual, frustrated pair potential (A.A. Kornyshev, S. Leikin, J. Chem. Phys. 107, 3656 (1997))--onto an exotic, unknown variant of the XY model on a fixed or restructurable lattice...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of DNA-mediated colloidal aggregation.
We present a statistical mechanical model of aggregation in colloidal systems with DNA-mediated interactions. We obtain a general result for the two-particle binding energy in terms of the hybridization free energy DeltaG of DNA and two model-dependent properties: the average number of available DNA bridges and the effective DNA concentration c(eff). We calculate these parameters for a part...
متن کاملDetermining hydrodynamic forces in bursting bubbles using DNA nanotube mechanics.
Quantifying the mechanical forces produced by fluid flows within the ocean is critical to understanding the ocean's environmental phenomena. Such forces may have been instrumental in the origin of life by driving a primitive form of self-replication through fragmentation. Among the intense sources of hydrodynamic shear encountered in the ocean are breaking waves and the bursting bubbles produce...
متن کاملStatistical Mechanics of Torque Induced Denaturation of DNA
A unifying theory of the denaturation transition of DNA, driven by temperature T or induced by an external mechanical torque Γ is presented. Our model couples in a geometrical way the hydrogen-bond opening and the untwisting of the helicoidal molecular structure. Using the transfer matrix method, we show that denaturation corresponds to a first-order phase transition from BDNA to dDNA phases an...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of DNA rupture: theory and simulations.
We study the effects of the shear force on the rupture mechanism on a double stranded DNA. Motivated by recent experiments, we perform the atomistic simulations with explicit solvent to obtain the distributions of extension in hydrogen and covalent bonds below the rupture force. We obtain a significant difference between the atomistic simulations and the existing results in the literature based...
