We evaluate, by means of molecular dynamics simulations employing a realistic DNA coarse-grained model, the phase behaviour and the structural and dynamic properties of tetravalent DNA nanostars, i.e. nanoconstructs completely made of DNA.…
Model of biological effects of ionizing particles, especially of protons and other ions, is proposed. The model is based on distinguishing the single-particle and collective effects of the underlying radiobiological mechanism. The…
Single molecule studies, at constant force, of the separation of double-stranded DNA into two separated single strands may provide information relevant to the dynamics of DNA replication. At constant applied force, theory predicts that the…
For efficient application of protons and light ions in radiotherapy, detailed knowledge and realistic models of the corresponding radiobiological mechanism are necessary. Basic characteristics of this mechanism have been represented within…
Purpose: Recent studies suggest ultra-high dose rate (FLASH) irradiation can spare normal tissues from radiotoxicity, while efficiently controlling the tumor, and this is known as the FLASH effect. This study performed theoretical analyses…
We present a first-principles molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and expound upon a mechanism of oxygen depletion hypothesis to explain the mitigation of normal tissue injury observed in ultra-high-dose-rate (UHDR) FLASH radiotherapy. We…
We investigate the role of bubble positioning in the force-induced melting of double-stranded DNA using two distinct approaches: Brownian Dynamics simulations and the Gaussian Network Model. We isolate the effect of bubble positioning by…
Charge diffusion through desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a physico-chemical phenomenon that on the one hand is being explored for technological purposes, on the other hand is applied by nature for various informational processes in life.…
The aim of the present work is spectroscopic and thermodynamic study of DNA catalytic properties in the following processes: a) redox; b) formation of inter-strand cross-links; c) performing of photo-dynamic effects; d) nanoscale resonance…
Electromagnetic interactions of protons and alpha particles are modeled in a form that is suitable for Monte Carlo simulation of the transport of charged particles. The differential cross section (DCS) for elastic collisions with neutral…
In this work, we study the damage in crystalline molybdenum material samples due to neutron bombardment in a primary knock-on atom range of 0.5-10 keV at room temperature. We perform machine learned molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with…
Some features of the physics of radiation-dominated shock waves are discussed with emphasis on the peculiarities which are important for correct numerical modeling of shock breakouts in supernova. With account of those peculiarities, a…
We report the splitting of an oscillating DNA circuit into $\sim 700$ droplets with picoliter volumes. Upon incubation at constant temperature, the droplets display sustained oscillations that can be observed for more than a day.…
Electronic excitations and ionisations produced by electron impact are key processes in the radiation-induced damage mechanisms in materials of biological relevance, underlying important medical and technological applications, including…
In a recent experiment by Eichmann et al., polarization-sensitive measurements of the fluorescence from two four-level ions driven by a linearly polarized laser were made. Depending on the polarization chosen, different degrees of…
Correlation length exponent $\nu$ for long linear DNA molecules was determined by direct measurement of the average end-to-end distance as a function of the contour length $s$ by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM). Linear DNA, up to…
During the last decade coarse-grained nucleotide models have emerged that allow us to DNA and RNA on unprecedented time and length scales. Among them is oxDNA, a coarse-grained, sequence-specific model that captures the hybridisation…
An instability of a liquid droplet traversed by an energetic ion is explored. This instability is brought about by the predicted shock wave induced by the ion. An observation of multifragmentation of small droplets traversed by ions with…
We review statistical-mechanical theories of single-molecule micromanipulation experiments on nucleic acids. First, models for describing polymer elasticity are introduced. We then review how these models are used to interpret…
2D display is a fast and economical way of visualizing polymorphism and comparing genomes, which is based on the separation of DNA fragments in two steps, according first to their size and then to their sequence composition. In this paper,…
