Knot formation of dsDNA pushed inside a nanochannel

Jan Rothorl et al.

Summary: Recent experiments have shown that knots can be formed in single molecule dsDNA by compression in a nanochannel. In this study, we conducted a compression experiment in silico to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. The probability of knot formation was found to be a non-monotonic function of the persistence length and could be significantly enhanced by increasing the piston speed. Under compression, knots were abundant and delocalized, resulting from a backfolding mechanism that led to the emergence of chain-spanning loops. In contrast, knots were less frequent and weakly localized in equilibrium. Our in silico study provides insights into the formation, origin, and control of DNA knots in nanopores.

Diffusion of Knotted DNA Molecules in Nanochannels in the Extended de Gennes Regime

Zixue Ma et al.

Summary: The study found that the diffusion rate of DNA molecules is significantly reduced in the presence of large knots in nanochannels, indicating that DNA-wall friction dominates the friction of knotted DNA in the extended de Gennes regime.
