Abstract
We study the size fluctuations of a local denaturation zone in a DNA molecule in the presence of proteins that selectively bind to single-stranded DNA, based on a (2+1)-dimensional master equation. By tuning the physical parameters we can drive the system from undisturbed bubble fluctuations to full, binding protein-induced denaturation. We determine the effective free energy landscape of the DNA-bubble and explore its relaxation modes.
