Force-induced unzipping of DNA with long-range correlated sequence
We consider force-induced unzipping transition for a heterogeneous DNA model with a long-range correlated base-sequence. It is shown that as compared to the uncorrelated situation, long-range correlations smear the unzipping phase-transition, change its universality class and lead to non-self-averaging: the averaged behavior strongly differs from the typical ones. Several basic scenarios for th...
متن کاملUnzipping DNA - towards the first step of replication
The opening of the Y-fork the first step of DNA replication is shown to be a critical phenomenon under an external force at one of its ends. From the results of an equivalent delocalization in a nonhermitian quantum-mechanics problem we show the different scaling behavior of unzipping and melting. The resultant long-range critical features within the unzipped part of Y might play a role in the ...
متن کاملUnzipping DNA from the condensed globule state-effects of unraveling.
We have studied theoretically the unzipping of a double-stranded DNA from a condensed globule state by an external force. At constant force, we found that the double-stranded DNA unzips an at critical force Fc and the number of unzipped monomers M goes as M approximately (Fc - F)-3, for both the homogeneous and heterogeneous double-stranded DNA sequence. This is different from the case of unzip...
متن کاملFree-energy landscape and characteristic forces for the initiation of DNA unzipping.
DNA unzipping, the separation of its double helix into single strands, is crucial in modulating a host of genetic processes. Although the large-scale separation of double-stranded DNA has been studied with a variety of theoretical and experimental techniques, the minute details of the very first steps of unzipping are still unclear. Here, we use atomistic molecular-dynamics simulations, coarse-...
متن کاملبررسی آشوب اتلافی در ابرشبکههای نیمرسانا
In this paper the motion of electron in a miniband of a semiconductor superlattice (SSL) under the influence of external electric and magnetic fields is investigated. The electric field is applied in a direction perpendicular to the layers of the semiconductor superlattice, and the magnetic field is applied in different direction Numerical calculations show conditions led to the possibility of ...
