The ABC 2023 conference will be a venue to discuss subjects surrounding the sequence-dependent physical properties of DNA, new methods and new models, with a multiscale perspective. From the shorter atomistic scale to more biologically pertinent length scales (mesoscale), i.e. from electrons to nucleosomes. Top international researchers, ABC members, and collaborators from diverse fields (experimentalists, computational chemists/physicists, and developers of new methods) will converge to discuss on:
All-atom force field development for nucleic acids
Sequence-dependent mechanical properties of DNA
Coarse-grained models of nucleic acids
Multiscale simulations of nucleic acids
Protein-DNA interactions
DNA-solvent interactions
Nucleosome structure and chromatin fibers
Nucleosome positioning
Epigenetic modifications: DNA and histone tails
