Anisotropic pressure control simulations of DNA stretching. (a) Setup of MD simulations. The transparent box illustrates the boundaries of the simulated system. Ions are shown as spheres. The DNA outside the transparent box illustrates the periodic boundary condition. (b) Simulated stress-extention dependence. The metastable states are shown as filled symbols with no error bars.
