The Influence of Ionic Environment on Nucleosome-Mica Interactions Revealed via Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Nilusha L. Kariyawasam, Jeff Wereszczynski
This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to show how potassium and magnesium ions affect nucleosome binding to mica surfaces, with potassium allowing stable binding with less structural change.
