Regarding to the fiber model construction, Wilma suggested generate a fiber with combination of different fiber models, such as 5 repeats A form + 5 repeats B form. We understand that the difficulty is the connection of two fiber models (backbones). What do you think of having this option on our web server?
I understand Wilma's point, but I honestly do not think it is a good idea here. There are could possibly be many different combinations of the various fiber models, which could be very creative, but arbitrary. This is exactly what I want to avoid in this work, but it could possibly be left to another paper.
Basically, this is not a scientific paper, but a web-interface to commonly used functionality in 3DNA, and we've already had many stuffs to offer. Additionally, as a general design principle, the web-interface should be simple, targeting the non-expert users. Power-users will play directly with the command-line version.
