Melting of DNA in confined geometry

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

The stability of DNA molecule during the encapsulation process is a topic of intense research. We study the thermal stability of the double-stranded DNA molecule of different lengths in a confined space. Using a statistical model we evaluate the melting profile of DNA of different length in two geometries: conical and cylindrical. Our results show that not only the confinement but also the geometry of the confined space plays a prominent role in the stability and opening manner of the molecule.
