An unfolding story : Simulations exceeding the microsecond timescale and the introduction of a co‐solvent were used to characterize the pathways of the unfolding of a short DNA duplex. Two main pathways are detected involving different substrates. Once unfolding is reached the DNA adopts compact structures different from a random‐coil distribution (see picture).
