Hi Xiang-Jun, Thanks for your previous email with the suggestions! I met a problem here that my computer with Linux system is down and is there anyway 3dna can run on a window system? Btw, I want to generate a 42 mer DNA duplex with 10.5 bp per turn, can 3dna do that? Thanks a lot for your kind help!

The short answer is to see "How to calculate DNA bending angle?" ( http://forum.x3dna.org/faqs/how-to-calculate-dna-bending-angle/ ). 3DNA, following the original NewHelix algorithm, calculates a best-fitted linear global helix (where sensible) using equivalent C1'...C1', RN9/YN1...RN9/YN1 atom pairs along each strand. The so-called global helical axis parameters are no longer widely used, but the best-fitted linear helical axis is a useful concept, and has been kept in 3DNA and DSSR [ http://forum.x3dna.org/rna-structures/dssr-software-for-defining-the-(second... ].

Hi,
I have a DNA model which is composed of two DNA duplexes. I want to measure the angle between the two duplexes and if there a way to do it in PHENIX or in other software?
Thanks you very much for your help!
