Some assumptions were made:

  • All NPs are monocrystalline and equal

(Fe3O4, r=11nm and Fe3O4@SiO2, r= 21nm)

  • The DNA coiled around acts as a rigid body.
  • The force to unbind DNA from the protein is

about 6.3 pN.

  • The force to unbind DNA from the protein is

about 6.3 pN.

  • DNA mass is insignificant compared to the

NP’s.

  • All drags are the same
  • Homogeneous medium
  • The system can be reduced to a single mass

and drag
