## Abstract __We present a molecular dynamics simulation study of 22βmer DNA conformational variations obtained by stretching both 3β²βtermini and both 5β²βtermini. Stretching 3β²βtermini by 3.5 nm required 142 kJβmol^β1^ and the force plateau was βΌ80 pN, whereas stretching 5β²βtermini by the same leng
Recent results from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on hydration of DNA with respect to conformation are reviewed and compared with experimental data. MD simulations of explicit solvent around DNA can now give a detailed model of DNA that not only matches well with the experimental data but prov
