works in any Java-compatible browser. Java Virtual Machine must be installed (JVM, included with some operating systems or available in Sun's Java website).
More tutorials on DNA and proteins, in English, Spanish, etc., are indexed at
molvisindex.org.
If you prefer using Chime for molecular models, the page using it is still available, with equivalent content and functionality.
This tutorial is designed to complement Biology or Biochemistry and Molecular Biology books, so it is not by itself a complete introduction to DNA structure. Please, check the original source for more recent versions. You can also read the version history.
A. Double helix by element: base pairs, hydrogen bonding | B. The Code Explanation of codons and anticodons |
C. Strands and helical backbone | D. Ends, Antiparallelism |
You can request a copy of this tutorial for off-line use; once you have your own copy on your computer's hard disk, you can use it without an Internet connection (and it will run faster).
