Molecular visualization of idealized B-form DNA

This web page uses the open-source Java Applet program Jmol, a proposed platform-independent replacement for Chime and Rasmol, neither of which is available in an OS X native version. You will need a relatively recent Java Virtual Machine to use it.

The buttons below are generally intended to be clicked in order.

This is idealized B-DNA from Arnott, via InsightII.
