Diameter Dependent Melting and Softening of dsDNA Under Cylindrical Confinement

Diameter Dependent Melting and Softening of dsDNA Under Cylindrical Confinement

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered promising candidates for biomolecular confinement, including DNA encapsulation for gene delivery. Threshold values of diameters have been reported for double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) encapsulation inside CNTs. We have performed all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simu...
