Extracting coarse grain sequence-dependent model parameters for rigid base and rigid base-pair models of DNA from molecular dynamics simulations of DNA

Tuesday, May 10, 11AM – 12PM
POB 4.304

Professor John H. Maddocks

The base pair sequence of DNA is generally believed to modulate its physical properties, for example stiffness and intrinsic curvature, in a biologically significant way. I will describe both completed and ongoing work aimed toward quantifying these modulations at a coarse grain level starting from simulations at the atomistic level.
