Hidden complexities in the unfolding mechanism of a cytosine-rich DNA strand
Abstract
We investigate the unfolding pathway of a cytosine-rich DNA hairpin structure via Molecular Dynamics simulations. Our results indicate a hidden complexity present in the unfolding process. W e show that this complex behavior arises due to non-stochastic contributions which have an important impact on the description of the dynamics in terms of collective variables.
