Prediction of Non B-DNA structure
« on: August 17, 2013, 12:09:29 am »
Hi, is it possible to predict the non B-DNA structure in 3D like cruciforms, hairpin, or G-quadruplex?

3DNA/DSSR is an analyzing/modeling toolset. Overall, it does not make 'predictions'. Nevertheless, some of its functionality could prove useful in testing your ideas.

Can we make a 3D model of Non-B-DNA structure using sequence?

The question sounds too general to me. With 3DNA, you can build an arbitrary DNA structure by providing an input file with sequence and desired parameters. See the 2008 3DNA Nature Protocols paper for details.
