Molecular Dynamics Simulations of DNA Memory
Project Description
The technique of DNA memory utilizes the inherent ability of nucleic acids to self-assemble, enabling the construction of various nanoscale structures. With the advent of the all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) approach, computational simulations have become a valuable tool for examining the atomic-level structure and physical characteristics of DNA objects. In this project, the student will receive detailed training on constructing atomic-scale models of DNA memory, employing the MD method to simulate these systems, and conducting comprehensive analysis.
