Previous experimental studies of the effects of changes in sequence on the elastic constants and other properties of DNAs are analyzed using the recently parametrized two-state cooperative transition model. With appropriate assumptions regarding the

Quantitative parameters for a two-state cooperative transition in duplex DNAs were finally obtained during the last 5 years. After a brief discussion of observations pertaining to the existence of the two-state equilibrium per se, the lengths, torsio

Deforming an intrinsically straight elastic rod into a circle is shown to introduce an axial tension that acts to extend the rod, much like an externally applied force. The response of a circular DNA to such axial tension was reckoned using a previou

Review and analyses of the experimental data indicate that in nearly all cases bending elastic constants of the effective springs between bp of DNA actually undergo a net increase with increasing T from 278 to 315 K. The exceptions to this rule are b

The measured effective torsional rigidities of single twisted DNAs under various tensions conflict with theoretical predictions of Moroz and Nelson (MN) at low forces in the 0.25-2.0 pN range. However, MN theory was recently shown to agree well with

A macromolecule in a gradient of a cosolute that is preferentially (relative to the solvent) either attracted to or excluded from the domain of the macromolecule should experience a thermodynamic force and move, respectively, up or down the gradient.

The twist energy parameter ( E T) that governs the supercoiling free energy, and the linking difference (Delta l) are measured for p30delta DNA in solutions containing 0-40 w/v % ethylene glycol (EG). A plot of E T vs -ln a w, where a w is the water

Two different methods are proposed to estimate the persistence length ( P) of DNA from the measured torsion elastic constant (alpha) and the twist energy parameter ( E T ) that governs the supercoiling free energy. The first method involves Monte Car
