    Calculate persistence length from force extension data of a single DNA

    then unfortunately the plot was for a different force range, however in case the intercept is 1.4, the persistence length would be ~2nm (still much too low).

    Chemistry Calculate persistence length of a single dsDNA molecule

    Hello Epenguin! Sorry, my mistake: it should be \big(1-\frac{x}{L_0}\Big)^{-2} instead of \big(1-\frac{x}{L_0}\Big) in the equation.

    Chemistry Calculate persistence length of a single dsDNA molecule

    Hello! 1. The problem statement and all variables AIM: Calculating persistence length P of a single dsDNA molecule from a data set of force F (to the molecule) vs. extension x measurements. Experimental background: pN forces were applied to a single dsDNA molecule spanned between two...

    Calculate persistence length from force extension data of a single DNA

    Hello! From a data set of F-x measurements of a single dsDNA molecule I want to calculate the persistence length P . So I plotted \frac {1} {\sqrt{(F)}} vs. x and fitted these data points (linear). According to an interpolation formula the extension x of a worm like chain with contour...

    Scattering force in optical trapping

    thanks a lot! now I think: in the ray optics regime: The net force exerted on a microsphere by one ray is calculated considering the contribution of forces due to reflection and due to refraction, (depending on the incident angle of the ray). The net force can be decomposed into...

    Scattering force in optical trapping

    hello, reading about the theoretical background of optical trapping. I was wondering how the scattering force originates. Often it is written, that the scattering force is due to reflection, but also the central rays refracted by a dielectric object should contribute ? So the scattering force...
