Many natural and biological systems including collagen and DNA polymers are formed by a
process of molecular self-assembly. In this paper, we developed two novel structural models
and built heterogeneous DNA/collagen complexes through a preferable arrangement of
multiple hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) between DNA and collagen molecules. The simulation
results based on three sets of criteria indicate that one of the models with five collagen
molecules, which are positioned around each strand of DNA molecules emerged to form a …
