Please see http://www.umass.edu/microbio/rasmol/molmol.gif This illustrates the nucleic acid base plates. I agree that (eventually) doing these plates in Jmol would be very very nice. I also agree that arrowheads points on the 3' ends of backbones would be good. To understand 5' vs. 3', please see the chime images at http://molvis.sdsc.edu/dna/index.htm specifically the chapter Ends and Antiparallellism http://molvis.sdsc.edu/dna/fs_ends.htm unprimed numbers refer to atoms in the base, while primed numbers refer to atoms in the ribose. Synthesis and reading of the code go from 5' to 3', cf. for proteins synthesis goes from N terminus to C terminus. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=379133&aid=916553&group_id=23629 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
