Once the optimisation procedure was over, the C8S3 CG model was used in self-assembly simulations. Even though the assembled structures were not similar to the experimental determined structures, we observed different types of aggregates. Such a behaviour was expected, since the actual time for the C8S3 nanotube formation is in the time range of minutes. These time scales are beyond the accessible simulation of MD simulations, even for CG methods. However, the transition from amorphous blobs to elongate wires and the exploration of different arrangements during the early nucleation phase could be part of the mechanism of the C8S3 nanotube formation.
