The role of loop stacking in the dynamics of DNA hairpin formation.
We study the dynamics of DNA hairpin formation using oxDNA, a nucleotide-level coarse-grained model of DNA. In particular, we explore the effects of the loop stacking interactions and non-native base pairing on the hairpin closing times. We find a nonmonotonic variation of the hairpin closing time w...
