| Description | Advanced methods of molecular modelling have been applied on the DNA quadruplexes. We have investigated an antiparallel DNA quadruplex formed by a dimerization of dGGGGTTTTGGGG with a four-tetrad stem and two lateral four-thymidine loop. A long scale molecular dynamics (MD) has been applied together with a post processing analysis including the study of solvation, interactions with ions, the free energy contribution and the entropy analysis. |
