Abstract:
The predictions of six DNA bending models were compared with experimental relative mobility data. The study showed that all the models are reasonably accurate in predicting bending in synthetic sequences and in a natural sequence. The least accurate of these models is the Calladine-Dickerson model. The most consistent model is the ApA Wedge, possibly because it distributes the bends into base-roll and base-tilt components.
