We investigate the melting transition of non-supercoiled circular DNA of different lengths, employing Brownian dynamics simulations. In the absence of supercoiling, we find that …

We investigate the denaturation dynamics of nucleic acids through extensive molecular dynamics simulations of a coarse-grained RNA hairpin model. In apparent contradiction with …

Abstract The Poland–Scheraga model describes the denaturation transition of two complementary–in particular, equally long–strands of DNA, and it has enjoyed a remarkable …

The Poland-Scheraga model for DNA denaturation, besides playing a central role in applications, has been widely studied in the physical and mathematical literature over the …
The denaturation transition of circular DNA is studied within a Poland-Scheraga-type approach, generalized to account for the fact that the total linking number (LK), which …

In this paper a mesoscopic approach is proposed to describe the process of breaking of hydrogen bonds during the DNA thermal denaturation, also known as DNA melting. A …

We briefly review some of the models used to describe DNA denaturation dynamics, focusing on the value of the dynamical exponent $ z $, which governs the scaling of the …
The Poland-Scheraga (PS) model is the standard basic model to study the denaturation transition of two complementary and equally long strands of DNA. This model has enjoyed a …
