Mechanical Rupture of DNA Tension-Gate Elements: Thresholds, Kinetics, and Energetics from Steered Molecular Dynamics

The kinetics and energetics of load-driven conformational rearrangements underlie DNA replication, repair, and DNA nanodevice function. DNA tension-gate tethers exploit these dynamics, yet their rupture thresholds are set almost exclusively by single-molecule calibration; here, an atomistic steered-molecular-dynamics p...

Molecular Dynamics Simulations Reveal a Broadly Open Solution Ensemble for the DNA Holliday Junction: Mg2+ Crossover Bridging and Weak Force-Field Sensitivity

Holliday junctions, four-way DNA crossovers central to DNA origami and key intermediates of homologous recombination, must be accurately modeled for rational DNA-nanodevice design, yet their solution conformational ensemble remains incompletely characterized. We characterize this ensemble for the experimental junction...
