hi can we make a DNA model with chimera???
Hello, Although you can build very approximate DNA in Chimera with the "rna" command <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/rna.html>, the result is rough and mainly just for viewing. If you are planning to do detailed modeling or further calculations with the DNA, I would recommend not using Chimera, but instead some other program. For example, here are some web servers that I believe will build DNA: <http://structure.usc.edu/make-na/> <http://w3dna.rutgers.edu/index.php/rebuild> Elaine ---------- Elaine C.
