(Affiches/Poster) Soft Matter 2013 (Rome, IT), 2013-09-15 Ref HAL: hal-01948354_v1 Exporter : BibTex | endNote Résumé: The closure of long equilibrated denaturation bubbles in DNA is studied using Brownian dynamics simulations. A minimal mesoscopic model is used where the double helix is made of two interacting bead-spring freely rotating strands, with a nonzero torsional modulus in the duplex state. |
