Simulating large DNA nanostructures with a coarse-grained model

Abstract:

In this thesis we investigate the self-assembly and structural properties of DNA origamis, which are large-scale DNA nanostructures comprising thousands of DNA base pairs, using the coarse-grained model of DNA called oxDNA.

We use simulations of oxDNA, with both a "brute-force" approach and with a rareevent method, to probe how the origamis self-assemble from single strands of DNA in solution. With the brute-force approach we are able to simulate the complete assembly of a smal...
