DNA wrapped around nanotube

[Lukas Bartmann]

Hello Everyone!

I am trying to build a CAD model where a DNA is wrapped around a nanotube. Is it possible to wrap a double standed DNA around an axis rather than along an axis with this software?

The goal would be to have a similar structure like this at the end: DNA around nanotube - Bing images

 

Thank you very much for your comments and help,

Lukas

Hi Lukas,

I've done some models like that in NE1, images attached. In NE1 I had to create the manually by hand which means to drag dna atoms around the tube, do a quick adjustment (NOT energy minimization) and repeat this process a few times until you have something nice. Maybe someone has a better way?
