Hello All,
I am here not with a problem but still i need your suggestions.
I have a linear DNA molecule of 200nm in length and want to rum MD to
calculate some bending properties.
I want to know ...what kind of solvation box type will be good for such
molecule??
Consider the DNA molecule to be a rigid rod in its fully extended configuration.
How might such an object rotate? If you envision it rotating with spherical
symmetry, then you have your answer. A cubic box would be a waste, but a
dodecahedron or octahedron would fit quite nicely.
