General discussions (Q&As) / Intrinsic Curvature of DNA
« on: May 19, 2015, 02:04:21 pm »
Hello,
Thank you for this great program and helpful forum.
Does 3DNA account for the intrinsic sequence dependent curvature of DNA? For example, when I use the reconstruction tool on w3DNA, an A-tract sequence gives a straight segment of DNA. I was expecting something more like this, showing curvature:

Also, is there any way to connect the ends of a linear DNA strand to form a circle?
Thank you in advance,
Lara Ibrahim
