Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of DNA representing bases as ellipsoids

We conducted a study of various physical and geometric properties of single and double stranded DNA by developing a coarse-grained computational model. To represent the steric shapes of the bases more accurately, we modelled their interactions using the ellipsoidal RE² potential [18]. The bond, angl...
