Abstract
Even as more information becomes available using experimental methods, chemistry is evolving into a discipline in which both theoretical and experimental aspects can be used to better understand and interpret chemical processes and mechanisms. Molecular dynamics simulations provide a means by which we may explore atomic interactions within molecules in a straightforward and cost-effective manner. Here we use molecular dynamics to study two separate but related areas of research in the McGown group: self-assembly of guanosine monophosphate (GMP) into G-quadruplex (G4) structures, and the mechanism of separation of same-length, single-stranded DNA based on sequence in capillary zone electrophoresis.
