Dynamics of a fluorophore attached to superhelical DNA: FCS experiments simulated by Brownian dynamics
Literature Information

We investigated the dynamics of a single-fluorophore-labeled pUC18 plasmid through a Brownian dynamics algorithm, followed by a simulation of the fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) process. Recent experimental FCS measurements indicated a sensitivity of the monomer mean square displacements in DNA circles towards superhelicity. Simulations with homogeneous DNA elasticity and local straight equilibrium are not sufficient to reproduce this observed behavior. But inserting permanently bent sequences into the DNA, which favor end loop formation, caused a dependence of the calculated FCS correlation curves on superhelical density. Furthermore, our simulations allow us to take into account the orientation of the fluorophore in polarized excitation, which might explain the observed appearance of a Rouse-like regime at intermediate time scales.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
