The MeChaNiSM Doctoral Network students’ kick-off meeting (October 6-10) is starting today at the University of Cologne, Germany. It provides a great opportunity for students to catch up and network with others.

Fredrik Westerlund is a Professor at Chalmers University of Technology, working with single-molecule biophysics for nucleic acid analysis. Within MeChaNiSM he will host 2 students working on mechanical characterization of nucleic acids and nucleic acid-drug interactions. @westerlundlab.bsky.social

When B DNA is overstretched, it converts to melted DNA or S-DNA. Overstretching has been controversial because the transitions are similar for the two states. With the Westerlund and Wilhelmsson labs, we show in NAR the B-to-S transition is much faster than melting

Force-induced melting and S-DNA pathways for DNA overstretching exhibit distinct kinetics
Abstract. It is widely appreciated that double stranded DNA (dsDNA) is subjected to strong and dynamic mechanical forces in cells. Under increasing tension
