The structure and function of biomolecules are strongly influenced by their hydration shells.
Structural fluctuations and molecular excitations of hydrating water molecules cover a broad …

Ions surround nucleic acids in what is referred to as an ion atmosphere. As a result, the
folding and dynamics of RNA and DNA and their complexes with proteins and with each …

Magnesium ions have an important role in the structure and folding mechanism of
ribonucleic acid systems. To properly simulate these biophysical processes, the applied …

Ions are ubiquitous in nature. They play a key role for many biological processes on the
molecular scale, from molecular interactions, to mechanical properties, to folding, to self …

The use of small-angle scattering (SAS) in the study of self-assembly of peptides and
peptide conjugates (lipopeptides, polymer-peptide conjugates and others) is reviewed …

RNA molecules play a key role in countless biochemical processes. RNA interactions, which
are of highly diverse nature, are determined by the fact that RNA is a highly negatively …

The ionic atmosphere around nucleic acids remains only partially understood at atomic-level
detail. Ion counting (IC) experiments provide a quantitative measure of the ionic atmosphere …

In the present study we report on interactions of and competition between monovalent ions
for two DNA sequences in MD simulations. Efforts included the development and validation …

Nanocellulose is a bio-based material that holds significant potential in the field of water
purification. Of particular interest is their potential use as a key sorbent material for the …

In eukaryotes, a first step towards the nuclear DNA compaction process is the formation of a
nucleosome, which is comprised of negatively charged DNA wrapped around a positively …
