Abstract:

In this research commentary we will focus on the need for the development of computational tools for modeling charge conductivity in an extended biopolymer with considerable structural flexibility. In addition, we want to present the methodology for which these structures can be computed and characterized. To do this we will start with small systems of fullerenes and nanotubes, then try to lay the ground work for large structural computations.
