Spatial constraint corrections to the elasticity of double stranded DNA measured with magnetic tweezers
Spatial constraint corrections to the elasticity of double stranded DNA measured with magnetic tweezers
In the present paper, we have studied a discrete version of the worm-like-chain (WLC) model, which incorporates the spatial constraints imposed by the magnetic tweezer, used in current micromanipulation experiments. These obstruction effects are relevant for double stranded DNA (dsDNA) 'short' molecules, involving about two thousand base pairs (kbp) or …
