About
Welcome to the landing page of the ABCix project, the latest effort (2021) of the Ascona B-DNA (ABC) consortium. The study is focused on the systematic characterization of the physical properties of all 2080 unique hexanucleotides, from a collection of 950, 10μs-long MD simulations.
The vast simulation effort will allow the exploration of long-term dynamics of solvated duplexes to define potential frustration effects in DNA, sequence-dependent solvent and ion atmosphere, correlation and signal transfer effects, which could not be explored in previous calculations focussed in much shorter elements.
The current ABC consortium is formed by thirteen groups (the most visible ones) from Europe and US.
