Title: rebuild long DNA molecule
Post by: beetlejuice on March 02, 2007, 10:14:35 am

Hello

i'm an undergraduate student trying to have my degree in physics about "coarse grained model for nucleic acid". I used 3DNA package and i wanted to thank the creators of this tool first of all.

I would like to know if, using 3DNA, i can build very long DNA structures specifying only the length of the sequence and the quantities needed to do so. I need it to compare the statistical radial distributions i calculted on a set of real structures with an ideal set of structures with a very long sequence.

I hope you can answer me
Thank you

Hi,

Welcome to the 3DNA community!

The program "fiber" is your friend to build long regular DNA models. Also check the topic on PDBML (http://http://3dna.rutgers.edu:8080/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9) in this forum.

HTH,
