Computer simulation of the thermodynamics of the B → Z-DNA transition: effect of the ionic size and charge

The B- to Z-DNA transition free energy as a function of the size and charge of added ions is investigated by Monte Carlo simulation for simple grooved B- and Z-DNA models. It is shown that the electrostatic contribution to the free energy depends almost linearly on the logarithm of the salt concentration for all the systems. The effect of increasing the size of the ions is to make the curves steeper, although its influence on the transition midpoint is more complex. Divalent cations markedly reduce both the slope and the transition midpoint with respect to monovalent ions. These conclusions are in agreement with the experimental findings. The effect of increasing the charge of the anions—not yet experimentally studied—is less pronounced.     

Effects of magnesium salt concentrations on B-DNA overstretching transition

In this study, we use optical tweezers to investigate the ionic effects of magnesium salt solutions on the overstretching transition of single B-DNA molecules. The experimental data are compared with those in sodium salt solutions. The overstretching transition force increases when the NaCl or MgCl₂ salt concentration increases. Magnesium cations have much stronger effects on the overstretching transition force than sodium cations. For both NaCl and MgCl₂ salt solutions, the overstretching transition force is linear with the natural logarithm of salt concentration, which confirms the theory proposed in previous paper. The modified ZZO model is applied to study the electrostatic contribution of magnesium salt solutions to the overstretching transition of single B-DNA molecules. The consistency between the experimental data and analytical results shows that the modified ZZO model can simulate the transition behavior of single B-DNA molecules in different NaCl and MgCl₂ salt solutions.

Non-equilibrium melting of colloidal crystals in confinement

A novel and flexible experiment is reported for investigation of the non-equilibrium melting behaviour of model crystals made from charged colloidal spheres. In a slit geometry, polycrystalline material formed in a low salt region is driven by hydrostatic pressure up an evolving gradient in salt concentration and melts at large salt concentration. Depending on particle and initial salt concentration, driving velocity and the local salt concentration, complex morphologic evolution is observed. Crystal–melt interface positions and the melting velocity are obtained quantitatively from time-resolved Bragg and polarisation microscopic measurements. A simple theoretical model predicts the interface to first advance, then for balanced drift and melting velocities to become stationary at a salt concentration larger than the equilibrium melting concentration. It also describes the relaxation of the interface to its equilibrium position in a stationary gradient after stopping the drive in different manners. The influence of the gradient strength on the resulting interface morphology and a shear-induced morphologic transition from polycrystalline to oriented single crystalline material before melting are discussed.     

Theoretical Study on Effects of Salt and Temperature on Denaturation Transition of Double-stranded DNA

We investigate the statistical mechanics properties of a nonlinear dynamics model of the denaturation of the DNA double-helix and study the effects of salt concentration and temperature on denaturation transition of DNA. The specific heat, entropy, and denaturation temperature of the system versus salt concentration are obtained. These results show that the denaturation of DNA not only depends on the temperature but also is influenced by the salt concentration in the solution of DNA, which are in agreement with experimental measurement.

Structural investigations of DNA-polycation complexes

The internal structure of DNA-polycation complexes is investigated by synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Hexagonal packing of DNA is observed for DNA complexed with poly-L-lysine (PL), poly-L-arginine (PA), spermine (Sp), and linear and branched polyethyleneimine (lPEI and bPEI, respectively). Variations in the internal spacings and degree of long-range ordering are dependent on both polycation type and concentration of added salt. With increasing concentration of monovalent salt, a discontinuous phase transition is observed from compact to loose bundles and finally to an isotropic network phase. This salt-induced melting transition was found to be universal for all polyplexes studied and is in quantitative agreement with a simple free energy model based solely on electrostatic and entropic contributions. Using the osmotic stress method, bulk modulus (K) is measured for PL-DNA and PA-DNA polyplexes at various salt concentrations. With increasing osmotic force, we show that the salt-induced melting transition is shifted and compression in the loose bundle regime is in qualitative agreement with our model.
