I am interested in the properties of a class of DNA called cyclic DNA. An example can be seen at http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/local/organic/pericyclic/2HK4.html
This consists of two loops of cyclic 8-mers of DNA bound by Watson-Crick pairing. The two separate monomers, when displayed as ball and stick, are clearly continuously bound by covalent bonds. But the cartoon visible at the above does not show this cyclic nature. I am afraid I dont know enough about the implicit semantics of DNA cartoons to know why this should happen, or indeed whether any code could be injected into Jmol to join up the ends? Can anyone more familiar with this aspect comment? -- Henry Rzepa. +44 (020) 7594 5774 (Voice); http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/rzepa/rzepa.xrdf (FOAF) http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/rzepa/ Dept.
