These pages allow you to look at and manipulate the same structures as I was using in the 2LS31 lecture.
You should see the structures below in the table. If you do not, then your browser is not set up to use the Chime Plugin, which is used to dispay the coordinates of the structure. For further information about Chime, go to MDL, or the RasMol Home Page.
First, for best results, make sure the window of your browser fills the whole of your monitor, then click on the title of each structure to reveal the full page:
First, you might like to browse the short tutorial on Why is DNA a helix?

I would be very grateful to receive any feedback from the use of these pages, particularly from 2LS31 students. If you do have a look at the pages, please drop me an Email, and let me know what you think.
