title: About the large fluctuations observed using gas-phase molecular dynamics in the K-ras gene containing a mismatch.
abstract: We describe how we can reduce the periodic bending motions in the simulation in vacuo of the molecular dynamics of a short DNA fragment containing the Gly 12 hot spot of the K-ras oncogene and having at its center a mismatch CA+.
