A Computational Framework for Mechanical Response of Macromolecules: Application to the Salt Concentration Dependence of DNA Bendability  Liang Ma, Arun Yethiraj, Xi Chen, Qiang Cui  Biophysical Journal  Volume 96, Issue 9, Pages 3543-3554 (May 2009) DOI: 10.1016/j.bpj.2009.01.047 Copyright © 2009 Biophysical Society Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Illustration of various steps in constructing finite element method (FEM) models. (a and b) Polyion model; (c–g) molecular surface model for the 36-bp DNA. (a) Triangularized surface of the polyion model. (b) Nodes of the polyion model with chemical nodes (those that bear partial charges) shown in red. (c) Atomic structure in a van der Waals representation. (d) Triangularized molecular surface. (e) Simplified triangularized molecular surface and the volume of space enclosed by this surface discretized into tetrahedral elements. (f) Nodes of the molecular surface model with chemical nodes (correspond to all heavy atoms) in red. (g) Phosphorus nodes of the molecular surface model, which are the only nodes that bear charges in this study.

Figure 2 A scheme that illustrates the bending of a 36-bp DNA in the x,z plane by an external force F→ext at the right terminus for the evaluation of DNA bendability with a force-based CM/CE protocol. The displacement δ at the right terminus in the x direction is also shown. (a) Heavy atoms (chemical nodes) shown in CPK and licorice for the straight and bent structures, respectively. (b) Straight and bent structures shown in mesh. The magnitude of bending is exaggerated for clarity. See Table 1 for the magnitude of the forces applied in real CM/CE simulations.

Figure 4 ΔGel (Eqs. 7 and 8) versus 1/R−2 for (a) a 300-bp and (b) a 36-bp polyion DNA at 0.004 M and 0.01 M NaCl. Biophysical Journal 2009 96, 3543-3554DOI: (10.1016/j.bpj.2009.01.047) Copyright © 2009 Biophysical Society Terms and Conditions

Figure 5 Predicted persistence length (P) versus 1/c for the polyion and molecular surface models of the 300-bp DNA from (a) energy-based calculations and (b) force-based CM/CE simulations. The DH model is used for the electrostatic interactions in all calculations. The dashed lines represent linear fitting and all correlation coefficients are >0.98. The solid line represents the prediction from the OSF theory. Biophysical Journal 2009 96, 3543-3554DOI: (10.1016/j.bpj.2009.01.047) Copyright © 2009 Biophysical Society Terms and Conditions

Figure 6 The relationship between predicted persistence length (P) and salt concentration for the 36-bp DNA. In panels a and b, the numerical simulations are compared to the original OSF theory and therefore P is plotted against the inverse salt concentration; in panels c and d, the comparison is made to the modified OSF theory (see Appendix 1), and P is plotted against the inverse of the effective salt concentration (Eq. 10). As in Fig. 5, the numerical results from both energy- and force-based analyses are given; the dashed lines in panels c and d represent linear fitting and all correlation coefficients are >0.98. The solid line represents prediction from the original OSF theory in panel a and modified OSF in panel c.

Figure 7 Comparison of PB and DH differential solvation forces at 0.004 M (relative to 0.15 M) for an arbitrary bent structure of molecular surface model of 36-bp DNA; to facilitate the comparison, the PB1 model is used (see Solvation force calculations: continuum electrostatics for details). (a) A direct comparison of forces; (b) the difference of forces at the two different levels for phosphorus nodes.

Figure 8 Same as Fig. 5 in the main text (for the 300-bp DNA), except that the results are plotted against the inverse of the effective salt concentration in the modified OSF theory. Note the better agreement between the energy-based numerical calculation using the polyion model and the modified OSF prediction compared to the original OSF prediction (Fig. 5a) even for the relatively long (300-bp) DNA.

Figure 9 Comparison of differential solvation force (0.03 M relative to 0.15 M NaCl) calculated using explicit ions and PB theory for a bend structure of a 36-bp DNA. The explicit ion result is based on Monte Carlo simulations (see text). The setup of the PB calculations is described in the main text (PB2 in Solvation force calculations: continuum electrostatics). (a) A snapshot from the MC Simulation at 0.15 M NaCl. The DNA is shown in the van der Waals scheme; sodium and chloride ions are shown in yellow and cyan, respectively. (b) Comparison of the x component of differential solvation forces. (c) Comparison of the y component of differential solvation forces. (d) Comparison of the z component of differential solvation forces. Biophysical Journal 2009 96, 3543-3554DOI: (10.1016/j.bpj.2009.01.047) Copyright © 2009 Biophysical Society Terms and Conditions
