B-to A-DNA transition is known to be sensitive to the macroscopic properties of the solution,
such as salt and ethanol concentrations. Microenvironmental effects on DNA conformational …

Modified water models with different bond length are used to investigate solvent activity
effects on DNA structure. The dodecamer d (CGCGAATTCGCG) DNA segment is merged …

DNA carries an inherent polymorphism, which surfaces under various external conditions.
While B-form remains predominant under normal physiological conditions for most of the …

Modified water models with scaled charges are used to investigate solvent polarity effects on
DNA structure. Several intensive molecular dynamics simulations of the DNA EcoRI …

In ordinary aqueous solution, B-DNA is the major structural form of DNA. After the addition of
ethanol, DNA is thought to be aggregated/condensed in the A-form structure. However, there …

Unrestrained molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been carried out to characterize
the stability of DNA conformations and the dynamics of A-DNA→ B-DNA conformational …

In this paper, the finite difference nonlinear Poisson− Boltzmann (NLPB) equation is used to
calculate the electrostatic contribution to the B to Z transition of DNA using detailed …

Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the polymorphism and
flexibility of DNA in water, ethylene glycol (EG) and ethanol (EA) solutions. DNA in EG …

The DNA conformational transition depends on both the DNA sequences and environment
such as solvent as well as electrolyte in the solution. This paper uses the AMBER8 package …

The A/B transition is a basic element of DNA conformational change. Because of its
involvement in the sensing of the ionic conditions by DNA and in specific protein–DNA …
