    摘要:

    目的 研究吸附于微悬臂梁基底上双链DNA生物膜的弹性模量。方法 采用基于中观连续介质液晶理论的Parsegian经验势,描述粗粒化DNA圆柱之间相互作用能;采用蒙特卡罗法模拟加载前后DNA链的微观分布模式;采用思想实验法和宏观连续介质压缩弹性杆模型,预测DNA生物膜弹性模量。结果 双链DNA生物膜的弹性模量约为0.1~80 MPa。结论对比随机分布模式,经典的六角形均匀分布假设低估了DNA生物膜的弹性模量;封装密度的增加和缓冲盐溶液浓度的减小均有助于提高DNA生物膜弹性模量。这些结果对进一步认识临床工作中相关DNA生物膜的力学性质及其调控规律具有重要意义。

    Abstract:

    Objective To investigate elastic modulus of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) biofilm adsorbed on microcantilever substrate. Methods Parsegian’s empirical potentials based on mesoscopic continuum liquid crystal theory was employed to describe the interaction energy among coarse-grained DNA cylinders; Monte Carlo method was used to simulate the distribution pattern of DNA chains before and after loading. The thought experiment method combined with the compression bar model in the sense of macroscopic continuum mechanics was adopted to predict the elastic modulus of DNA biofilm. Results The elastic modulus of dsDNA biofilm ranged from 0.1 MPa to 80 MPa. Conclusions It was found out that the classic hypothesis with uniform hexagonal pattern may underestimate the elastic modulus of DNA biofilm when compared with that in random pattern. Moreover, either the increase of packing density or the decrease of buffer salt concentration will help to enhance elastic modulus of DNA biofilm. These results have great significances in further understanding the mechanical properties and regulation rules of DNA biofilm related with clinical work.
