Coarse-grained simulations of DNA overstretching.

We use a recently developed coarse-grained model to simulate the overstretching of duplex DNA. Overstretching at 23 degrees C occurs at 74 pN in the model, about 6-7 pN higher than the experimental value at equivalent salt conditions. Furthermore, the model reproduces the temperature dependence of t...
