CGeNArateWeb: a web server for the atomistic study of the structure and dynamics of chromatin fibers

We present CGeNArateWeb, a new web tool for the three-dimensional simulation of naked DNA and protein-bound chromatin fibers. The server allows the user to obtain a dynamic representation of long segments of linear, circular, or protein–DNA segments thanks to a Langevin dynamics coarse-grained (CG)...

The server allows the user to obtain a dynamic representation of long segments of linear, circular, or protein–DNA segments thanks to a Langevin dynamics coarse-grained (CG) model working with a machine-learning (ML) fitted C1′-resolution Hamiltonian. The CG trajectories can be back-mapped to atomistic resolution using another ML algorithm trained on a large database of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The method allows the user to get structural and dynamic information on large (kilobase range) portions of both protein-bound and free DNA, to transform conceptual cartoons into structural and dynamical models.
