摘要翻译:
我们报告了DNA单链的模型计算,描述了发夹形成和熔融的平衡动力学和动力学。建模是在单基地的水平。用简单的聚合物模型描述钢绞线的刚度;本文报道了使用自由旋转链和离散Kratky-Porod模型进行的替代计算。茎的形成是根据Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois哈密顿模型。开闭动力学用有效自由能景观中的扩散控制运动来描述。熔融曲线、熔融温度对环长度的依赖关系以及动力学时间尺度与荧光DNA信标形成poly(T)环的实验数据是半定量一致的。在形成聚(A)环的发夹中,丝股刚度的变化不足以解释闭合活化焓大和环长依赖性强的原因。对DNA或RNA单链建模的含义进行了讨论。

英文摘要:
We report model calculations on DNA single strands which describe the equilibrium dynamics and kinetics of hairpin formation and melting. Modeling is at the level of single bases. Strand rigidity is described in terms of simple polymer models; alternative calculations performed using the freely rotating chain and the discrete Kratky-Porod models are reported. Stem formation is modeled according to the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois Hamiltonian. The kinetics of opening and closing is described in terms of a diffusion-controlled motion in an effective free energy landscape. Melting profiles, dependence of melting temperature on loop length, and kinetic time scales are in semiquantitative agreement with experimental data obtained from fluorescent DNA beacons forming poly(T) loops. Variation in strand rigidity is not sufficient to account for the large activation enthalpy of closing and the strong loop length dependence observed in hairpins forming poly(A) loops. Implications for modeling single strands of DNA or RNA are discussed.
