Description

Model of the B-DNA dodecamer from 1bna.pdb in various representations. Great for discussing the helix. 
I made this to use it for teaching Biochemistry and Structural Biology and to respond to the following Biomolecular visualization learning goals (BioMolViz; DOI:10.1002/bmb.20991)

AG3.01 Students can identify a dihedral/torsion angle in a three-dimensional representation of a macromolecule. (Novice)
AG3.02 Students can identify the planes between which a dihedral/torsion angle exists within a three-dimensional representation of a macromolecule. (Novice)
