MEAM Seminar: “Mechanical Models for DNA”
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesWe will discuss two complementary mechanical models for DNA that deal with, respectively two problems: one, phase transitions in a DNA molecule, and two, allosteric interactions between two ligands bound to DNA. Experimental studies on single molecules of DNA have reported a rich variety of cooperative structural transitions, including coexistence of three phases, when a […]
