Lagging Strand Synthesis

61.9K
During replication, the complementary strands in double-stranded DNA are synthesized at different rates. Replication first begins on the leading strand. Replication starts later, occurs more slowly, and proceeds discontinuously on the lagging strand.
There are several major differences between synthesis of the leading strand and synthesis of the lagging strand. 1) Leading strand synthesis happens in the direction of replication fork opening, whereas lagging strand synthesis happens in the...

Fermi Level Dynamics

The vacuum level denotes the energy threshold required for an electron to escape from a material surface. It is usually positioned above the conduction band of a semiconductor and acts as a benchmark for comparing electron energies within various materials.
Electron affinity in semiconductors refers to the energy gap between the minimum of its conduction band and the vacuum level and it is a critical parameter in determining how easily a semiconductor can accept additional electrons.

The ideal gas law is an approximation that works well at high temperatures and low pressures. The van der Waals equation of state (named after the Dutch physicist Johannes van der Waals, 1837−1923) improves it by considering two factors.
First, the attractive forces between molecules, which are stronger at higher densities and reduce the pressure, are considered by adding to the pressure a term equal to the square of the molar density multiplied by a positive coefficient a. Second, the volume...

Extended Lagrangian Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics offers improved stability and efficiency for quantum simulations. This method overcomes limitations of direct Born-Oppenheimer dynamics, enabling faster simulations without compromising accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Physics
  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD) is crucial for simulating material properties.
  • Traditional BOMD requires iterative electronic ground-state optimization, limiting simulation speed.
  • Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics (CPMD) offers an alternative but has its own limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To formulate and analyze extended Lagrangian Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (eL-BOMD) within general Hohenberg-Kohn density-functional theory.
  • To compare eL-BOMD with existing BOMD and CPMD frameworks.
  • To address shortcomings of direct BOMD and improve upon CPMD features.

Main Methods:

  • Formulation of eL-BOMD for general density-functional theory.
