Molecular dynamics simulations of double-stranded DNA in an explicit solvent model with the zero-dipole summation method.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a double-stranded DNA with explicit water and small ions were performed with the zero-dipole summation (ZD) method, which was recently developed as one of the non-Ewald methods. Double-stranded DNA is highly charged and polar, with phosphate groups in its backb...
