Reintroducing explicit solvent to a solvent-free coarse-grained model.
A unique coarse-grained modeling scheme that combines a systematic, solvent-free multiscale coarse-graining algorithm for a complex macromolecule with an existing coarse-grained solvent model is proposed. We show that this procedure efficiently and reliably describes the interactions for complex macromolecules, using the specific example of dendrimers binding phenanthrenes in water. The experim...
متن کاملCoarse-grained, density dependent implicit solvent model reliably reproduces behavior of a model surfactant system.
Density dependent, implicit solvent (DDIS) potentials, the generation of which has been described previously [E. C. Allen and G. C. Rutledge, J. Chem. Phys. 128, 154115 (2008); E. C. Allen and G. C. Rutledge, J. Chem. Phys. 130, 034904 (2009)], are used in this work to examine the self-assembly of a model surfactant system. While the measurement of thermodynamic properties in simulations of sol...
متن کاملDNA nanotweezers studied with a coarse-grained model of DNA.
We introduce a coarse-grained rigid nucleotide model of DNA that reproduces the basic thermodynamics of short strands, duplex hybridization, single-stranded stacking, and hairpin formation, and also captures the essential structural properties of DNA: the helical pitch, persistence length, and torsional stiffness of double-stranded molecules, as well as the comparative flexibility of unstacked ...
متن کاملThe "sugar" coarse-grained DNA model.
More than 20 coarse-grained (CG) DNA models have been developed for simulating the behavior of this molecule under various conditions, including those required for nanotechnology. However, none of these models reproduces the DNA polymorphism associated with conformational changes in the ribose rings of the DNA backbone. These changes make an essential contribution to the DNA local deformability...
متن کاملA coarse-grained model for DNA origami
Modeling tools provide a valuable support for DNA origami design. However, current solutions have limited application for conformational analysis of the designs. In this work we present a tool for a thorough study of DNA origami structure and dynamics. The tool is based on a novel coarse-grained model dedicated to geometry optimization and conformational analysis of DNA origami. We explored the...
