Molecular modeling of nucleic acid structure: energy and sampling.
An overview of computer simulation techniques as applied to nucleic acid systems is presented. This unit expands an accompanying overview unit (UNIT 7.5) by discussing methods used to treat the energy and sample representative configurations. Emphasis is placed on molecular mechanics and empirical force fields.
