Abstract
We present the results of high temperature 500 K Molecular Dynamics simulations of a single-stranded DNA i-motif. The unfolding pathways are compared to a biased metadynamics simulation at 300 K. Our results indicate a remarkable agreement between the trajectories. We found that the unfolding process can be described by two main mechanisms with a small number of eigenvectors.

Physical and Chemical properties of advanced materials
Developing materials research at the cutting edge of our knowledge involves creating new advanced materials using modern physics and chemistry knowledge. Understanding the behaviour of materials under specific physical conditions and chemical compositions enables the modification of their properties to explore potential applications. Functional materials offer a wide range of ...read more
