From the molecules of resorcinolic lipids to alga G. prisca globular colonies in kukersite microfossils: a multiscale simulation study
To understand the presence of globules in the kerogen of Estonian kukersite a multiscale simulation study is performed using the ESPResSo methodology and structures of known building blocks. It is demonstrated how these globules are formed due to the intermolecular interactions in these building blocks.
