DNA melting in the presence of molecular crowders

A Singh, N Singh - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2017 - pubs.rsc.org
We study the opening of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) in the presence of molecular
crowders using the Peyrard–Bishop–Dauxois (PBD) model. It is a known fact that about 15 …

Force-induced melting of DNA hairpin: Unfolding pathways and phase diagrams

S Rudra, K Chauhan, AR Singh, S Kumar - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
Using the exact enumeration technique, we have studied the force-induced melting of a
DNA hairpin on the face centered cubic lattice for two different sequences which differ in …

Melting of DNA in confined geometries

A Maity, N Singh - European Biophysics Journal, 2020 - Springer
The stability of DNA molecules during viral or biotechnological encapsulation is a topic of
active current research. We studied the thermal stability of double-stranded DNA molecules …

Pulling short DNA molecules having defects on different locations

A Singh, N Singh - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
We present a study on the role of defects on the stability of short DNA molecules. We
consider short DNA molecules (16 base pairs) and investigate the thermal as well as …

Elasticity of a DNA chain dotted with bubbles under force

D Majumdar - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
The flexibility and the extension along the direction of the force are shown to be related to
the bubble number fluctuation and the average number of bubbles, respectively, when the …

Rigidity of melting DNA

T Pal, SM Bhattacharjee - Physical Review E, 2016 - APS
The temperature dependence of DNA flexibility is studied in the presence of stretching and
unzipping forces. Two classes of models are considered. In one case the origin of elasticity …

Efimov-like phase of a three-stranded DNA and the renormalization-group limit cycle

T Pal, P Sadhukhan, SM Bhattacharjee - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
A three-stranded DNA with short range base pairings only is known to exhibit a classical
analog of the quantum Efimov effect, viz., a three-chain bound state at the two-chain melting …

DNA Molecule Confined in a Cylindrical Shell: Effect of Partial Confinement

N Mathur, A Maity, N Singh - Advances in Computational Modeling and …, 2022 - Springer
To study the behaviour of DNA molecules during the encapsulation process is a topic of
intense research. In the present work, we investigate the stability of the double-stranded …

Stability of DNA molecule in conical shaped cellular environment

A Maity, N Singh - arXiv preprint arXiv:1709.04251, 2017 - arxiv.org
DNA inside the cellular environment works under a confined space. An intense research of
the transcription and replication of DNA in the confined state is structurally significant to …

[PDF][PDF] DNA Physics Near Melting Point

T Pal - 2016 - hbni.ac.in
DNA is a bio-molecule found, without any known exception, in every cellular lifeform. In
biology the fundamental phase of reproduction is the cell-division. During cell division the …
