Journal ArticleDOI
3DNA: a software package for the analysis, rebuilding and visualization of three‐dimensional nucleic acid structures
Xiang-Jun Lu,Wilma K. Olson +1 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive software package for the analysis, reconstruction and visualization of three-dimensional nucleic acid structures that can handle antiparallel and parallel double helices, single-stranded structures, triplexes, quadruplexes and other complex tertiary folding motifs found in both DNA and RNA structures is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA sequence-dependent deformability deduced from protein–DNA crystal complexes
TL;DR: A complete set of sequence-dependent empirical energy functions suitable for describing such behavior is extracted from the fluctuations and correlations of structural parameters in DNA-protein crystal complexes, providing useful stereochemical measures of the local base step movements operative in sequence-specific recognition and protein-induced deformations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nucleic acid database. A comprehensive relational database of three-dimensional structures of nucleic acids
Helen M. Berman,Wilma K. Olson,D.L. Beveridge,John D. Westbrook,Anke Gelbin,T. Demeny,S.-H. Hsieh,A. R. Srinivasan,Bohdan Schneider +8 more
Journal ArticleDOI
3DNA: a versatile, integrated software system for the analysis, rebuilding and visualization of three-dimensional nucleic-acid structures.
TL;DR: A set of protocols showing how to use the 3DNA suite of programs to analyze, rebuild and visualize three-dimensional nucleic-acid structures is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A standard reference frame for the description of nucleic acid base-pair geometry
Wilma K. Olson,Manju Bansal,Stephen K. Burley,Richard E. Dickerson,Mark Gerstein,Stephen C. Harvey,Udo Heinemann,Xiang-Jun Lu,Stephen Neidle,Zippora Shakked,Heinz Sklenar,Masashi Suzuki,Chang-Shung Tung,Eric Westhof,Cynthia Wolberger,Helen M. Berman +15 more
TL;DR: A common point of reference is needed to describe the three-dimensional arrangements of bases and base-pairs in nucleic acid structures and to pinpoint unique conformational features in individual structures.
