Introduction

Numerous critical features of the mechanics of DNA under external constraints, such as stress, torsion, and bending, remain poorly understood despite substantial research in this area. The mechanics of DNA under severe bending circumstances, which have been discussed for a decade without a complete understanding, is one biologically significant example. The topic of discussion is an intriguing phenomena that was discovered through a number of different experiments: sharply bent DNA deviates from DNA's typical bending elasticity by having a remarkably high apparent bending flexibility. Numerous theoretical models have been inspired by this discovery, most of which focus on the excitation of mechanical flaws inside highly bent DNA molecules. Here, we examine recent developments in the knowledge of the mechanics of highly bent DNA and offer our opinion on this crucial issue. All living things use the same genetic molecule, called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The B DNA secondary structure, which is a double helix made up of two strands of essential building blocks that run counter to one another, is what DNA retains in the majority of physiological situations. These building pieces are known as nucleotides, and each one has a phosphate, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base in one of four unique flavours: A, T, G, or C. The genetic instructions are encoded by specific orders of these four different nitrogenous bases.

Description

The basis for comprehending the stretch, bend, and twist deformations of DNA is the perception of a long strand of DNA as a homogenous thin rod with a diameter of 2 nm, which is several orders of magnitude longer than the helical pitch of DNA. If the twist deformation is ignored, it can be further reduced as a linear polymer without thickness. Because short-range interbase stacking constrains the basepair step size in the B-form DNA, a DNA polymer can be thought of as an inextensible linear polymer (Figure 1). For a certain conformation of DNA, assuming it abides by the harmonic bending elasticity, its conformational energy is represented by the wormlike chain. Rod model, linear polymer model, and DNA atomic structure. With two backbones that travel in opposite directions and four different base types that cling to one another within, B-form DNA acquires the shape of a right-handed periodic double helix. The atomic structure of the DNA may be coarse-grained into a homogenous, axisymmetric thin elastic rod of the same form when evaluating the mechanical properties of a long B-DNA fragment that comprises several repetitions of the 10.5 bp helical repeat. It may be further simplified as a linear polymer without thickness that follows the midline of the DNA rod if only the bending stiffness is taken into account [1-4].

DNA's traditional WLC polymer elasticity is only useful under a certain set of circumstances. Shifts in the mechanical properties of DNA are caused by a variety of chemical and mechanical causes that weaken the B-DNA structure. The structure of B-form DNA is changed by forces just over 60 pN when DNA is exposed to a tensile tension, leading to transitions to other DNA forms including DNA melting and S-DNA. Additionally, when DNA is subjected to torsion restrictions, structural changes in B-DNA take place. In this part, we'll concentrate on how DNA behaves differently under severe bending limitations compared to its standard WLC polymer elasticity. Because DNA in vivo is tightly packed and twisted over small length scales, this is significant. Due to the extremely low likelihood of spontaneous sharp bending of DNA due to its high bending energy, studies of the mechanical characteristics of DNA polymers under sharp bending circumstances are experimentally problematic. One must precisely count the uncommon severely bent conformations in order to gain an accurate description of the DNA micromechanics under sharp bending circumstances. The majority of the techniques mentioned in the previous section are no longer useful. For instance, single-molecule stretching tests are inappropriate because tensile forces also prevent sharp DNA bending. Furthermore, there is uncertainty as to whether any of the occasional acute bends detected are artefacts caused by DNA, despite the fact that AFM imaging measurements have been utilised to investigate the probability of significant bending angles across small contour separations [1,5].

Studies of the mechanical properties of DNA polymers under sharp bending conditions are experimentally challenging due to the exceedingly low probability of spontaneous sharp bending caused by the high bending energy of DNA. To accurately describe the DNA micromechanics under extreme bending conditions, one must properly enumerate the unusual, strongly bent conformations. The bulk of the methods described in the section before are no longer effective. For instance, single-molecule stretching studies are invalid since acute DNA bending is also prevented by tensile pressures. Despite the fact that AFM imaging measurements have been utilised to explore the likelihood of substantial bending angles across tiny contours, it is questionable if any of the sporadic acute bends found are DNA artefacts. These contentious findings highlight the intricate makeup of the bending stiffness of sharply bent DNA. The j-factor measurements that produced inconsistent results were performed at various temperatures, using various DNA lengths, or using various DNA sequences. As was already established, DNAsurface interactions and imaging analysis introduce uncertainty into AFM imaging investigations. Since DNA samples must be quickly (milliseconds) frozen for cryo-EM imaging research, it is possible that the DNA states before and after the cryo freezing procedure will vary [2,3].

Conclusion

The observed mechanical anomaly in 100 bp minicircles from these looping probability measurements is called into doubt because of the existence of pre-existing nicks and their capacity to promote flexible defect excitation at nicked locations. The abnormally high DNA flexibility shown in these DNAlooping tests may have resulted from a mix of defect excitation at both nicked sites and nick-free sections of the DNA, or it may have been generated solely by nick-dependent defect excitation. By examining the morphologies of the DNA minicircles in cryo-EM pictures, the elasticity of about 100 bp of looped DNA was also researched. Since no localised kinks were found in nick-free DNA minicircles, no flexible flaws were likely to be stimulated by this degree of bending.
