Mechanical properties of symmetric and asymmetric DNA A-tracts: implications for looping and nucleosome positioning
A-tracts are functionally important DNA sequences which induce helix bending and have peculiar structural properties. While A-tract structure has been qualitatively well characterized, their mechanical properties remain controversial. A-tracts appear structurally rigid and resist nucleosome formatio...
