Phase behaviour of hard cylinders
Joyce T. Lopes, Flavio Romano, Eric Grelet +2
Using isobaric Monte Carlo simulations, we map out the entire phase diagram of a system of hard cylindrical particles of length and diameter , using an improved algorithm to…
Measuring internal forces in single-stranded DNA: Application to a DNA force clamp
Megan C. Engel, Flavio Romano, Ard A. Louis +1
We present a new method for calculating internal forces in DNA structures using coarse-grained models and demonstrate its utility with the oxDNA model. The instantaneous forces on…
Designing patchy interactions to self-assemble arbitrary structures
Flavio Romano, John Russo, Lukáš Kroc +1
One of the fundamental goals of nanotechnology is to exploit selective and directional interactions between molecules to design particles that self-assemble into desired structures…
Coarse-grained modelling of the structural properties of DNA origami
Benedict E. K. Snodin, John S. Schreck, Flavio Romano +2
We use the oxDNA coarse-grained model to provide a detailed characterization of the fundamental structural properties of DNA origamis, focussing on archetypal 2D and 3D origamis. T…
How to Simulate Patchy Particles
Lorenzo Rovigatti, John Russo, Flavio Romano
Patchy particles is the name given to a large class of systems of mesoscopic particles characterized by a repulsive core and a discrete number of short-range and highly directional…
Coarse-grained modelling of strong DNA bending I: Thermodynamics and comparison to an experimental "molecular vice"
Ryan M. Harrison, Flavio Romano, Thomas E. Ouldridge +2
DNA bending is biologically important for genome regulation and is relevant to a range of nanotechnological systems. Recent results suggest that sharp bending is much easier than i…
