While browsing through the November 2013-41(21) issue of NAR, I am please to find the following three citations to 3DNA, all under the Section of ‘Structural Biology’.
- In Crystal structures of B-DNA dodecamer containing the epigenetic modifications 5-hydroxymethylcytosine or 5-methylcytosine by Renciuk et al.: Base pair parameters were calculated using the 3DNA software package (35).; Using the 3DNA software package (35), we calculated all intra- and inter-base pair parameters for the whole sequence (Supplementary Figure S5A–L). …
- In Structural basis for Z-DNA binding and stabilization by the zebrafish Z-DNA dependent protein kinase PKZ by de Rosa et al.: Nucleic acids structures were analyzed with 3DNA (33), whereas PISA (34) was used for the definition of the interacting surfaces.
- In Structure of an ‘open’ clamp type II topoisomerase-DNA complex provides a mechanism for DNA capture and transport by Laponogov et al.: The DNA form is indicated according to w3DNA (48).
Such citations illustrate the prominent status of 3DNA for DNA structural analysis. I firmly believe that DSSR will make 3DNA a top player for RNA structural analysis in the not-too-distant future.
