Abstract
This unit is the first in a series of four units covering the analysis of nucleic acid structure by molecular modeling. The unit provides an overview of the computer simulation of nucleic acids. Topics include the static structure model, computational graphics and energy models, the generation of an initial model, and characterization of the overall three?dimensional structure. Curr. Protoc.

Keywords: nucleic acid chemistry; nucleic acid structure and folding; structural analysis of biomolecules; experimental determination of structure; folding and conformational change
