Stability of DNA molecule in conical shaped cellular environment
Abstract
DNA inside the cellular environment works under a confined space. An intense research of the transcription and replication of DNA in the confined state is structurally significant to command the self assembly of DNA in a chamber or channel. In this work, we consider double stranded DNA (dsDNA) molecules of different length and sequence and study the thermal stability of the molecule in a confined space of conical geometry. Using the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois (PBD) model, we evaluate the melting profile of dsDNA that is confined on one side of the conical wall that mimics cellular boundary. Our results show that not only the confinement, but also the geometry of the confined space plays a prominent role in the stability of the molecule.
