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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Miguel (migueljmol) Date: 2004-12-13 14:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1050060 Stairsteps for nucleotide cartoons were introduced at some point a long time ago. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=379133&aid=916553&group_id=23629 ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
