Development of a coarse-grained α-chitin model on the basis of MARTINI forcefield
At nanoscale, atomistic simulation is widely used for investigating crystalline chitin fibers, the structural component for many biological materials. However, the longitudinal dimension of naturally occurring chitin fibers exceeds hundreds of nanometer, beyond the investigation range of all-atom si...
