摘要

Nucleic acid is indispensable to most viruses, and its mechanical property is an important factor for virus infectivity. Recent experiments found a temperature dependence of viral apparent stiffness, which stirred up controversy if apparent stiffness variation was ascribed to temperature-dependent structure variation of viral DNA. This paper is aimed to clarify this controversy by exploring the mechanism in apparent stiffness variation of viral DNA. A multi-scale correlation between microscopic structure of viral DNA and its apparent stiffness is formulated by presenting an alternative mesoscopic free energy model of viral DNA with the inclusion of its two-domain structural feature. Results reveal that the increasing temperature promotes DNA structural transformation from order to disorder, larger viral size will induce more dramatic DNA structural transformation, and this size-dependent temperature effect of viral DNA structure leads to cor-responding change of its free energy and apparent stiffness. These temperature-induced changes in DNA structure, energy, stiffness are reflection of competition between microscopic interactions of ordered and disordered DNA domains, and the ordered DNA domain dominates the changes of general viral DNA structure and energy. The results can provide insights into potential methods to prevent viral infection disease or to regulate gene delivery.
