MD simulations / Re: generate DNA pdb file for Gromacs
« on: Today at 07:05:11 am »
Dear all,
We are currently attempting to model non-natural nucleic acid structures. We would like to know if it is possible to predict the structure of threose nucleic acid (TNA). Is this feature already included in some of the tools ?
The main difference between TNA and DNA or RNA lies in the ribose. It is known that DNA (RNA) contains a pentose sugar, while TNA contains a tetrose sugar. Therefore, the connection sites of the phosphodiester bonds are different.
Thank you in advance,
Best regards, Mengyao
