DNA Stick and Ball Molecular Model

3D ModelNoAI

The crystal structure of the synthetic DNA dodecamer d(CpGpCpGpApApTpTpCpGpCpG). The molecule forms slightly more than one complete turn of right-handed double-stranded B helix.

The model was built using ChimeraX from X-ray diffraction crystal structure data in the Protein Data Bank (PDB ID 1BNA). DOI: 10.2210/pdb1BNA/pdb & https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/
