Modelling Extreme Stretching of DNA
Open accessAbstract
Molecular modelling with Jumna is used to study extreme stretching of the DNA double helix. The results, which correlate well with recent nanomanipulation experiments, show how the double helix can be extended to twice its normal length before its base pairs break. Depending on the way the duplex is stretched two types of conformation can occur, either an unwound flat ribbon or a narrow fibre with negatively inclined base pairs. The energetics of both types of deformation are similar and existing structures show that at least the flat ribbon form can exist locally under biological conditions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
