contents <p>This repository contains the files and data associated with the article: <strong>Mechanical response of the RecA nucleoprotein filament to increasing D-loop length</strong> by Afra Sabei, Chantal Prévost, Mara Prentiss, Claudia Danilowicz, Sébastien Neukirch, and Alexandre Détruit.</p> <h3>DESCRIPTION</h3> <ul> <li> <p><strong>Trajectories</strong>: Contains the structural files for the RecA nucleoprotein filaments (NPFs) with varying D-loop sizes (9bp, 12bp, 15bp, 21bp, 36bp, 45bp, and 54bp). Initial structures were derived from the CryoEM structure (PDB: 7jy9). Filament expansion was performed by replicating subunits using the <strong>Heligeom</strong> module of the <strong>PTools</strong> library. Models are named based on the number of stable heteroduplex base pairs(replicas are uploaded separately).</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Parameters</strong>: All-atom Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations were prepared using the <strong>VMD auto PSF builder</strong> (VMD 1.9.2). Systems were solvated in a TIP3P water model with a physiological ionic concentration of 0.15 mol/l. Simulations were performed using <strong>NAMD</strong> (versions 2.12 and 2.13) and the <strong>CHARMM36m</strong> force field including CMAP corrections. Conditions included periodic boundary conditions via PME, 2 fs time steps (SHAKE algorithm), and temperature/pressure regulation via Nosé-Hoover-Langevin piston.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Scripts</strong>: Contains the following Python scripts for modeling and analysis:</p> <ul> <li> <p><code>construction_bioarxiv.py</code>: Script for the construction of the NPF models.</p> </li> <li> <p><code>cmap_bioarxiv.py</code>: Post-processing script for generating contact maps.</p> </li> <li> <p><code>site_II_bioarxiv.py</code>: Post-processing script for site II distance calculations.</p> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h3>REFERENCES</h3> <p>[1] H.
