In NAB program, the atomic position of B-DNA structure is based on x-ray diffraction data information to a resolution of ∼2 Å, where heavy atoms are already tabulated in Ref. 23. Hydrogen atoms are added to the system based on AMBER94 force field (Ref. 24).

28. In the B-DNA structure, base pairs repeat to form a one-dimensional helix with an interbase separation of 3.38 Å and a pitch angle of 36°. Such a pitch angle breaks symmetry along the helix and defines a direction between the DNA ends. They are called 5′- and 3′-ends of each strand. A four G-C base pair structure with 5′- and 3′-ends description is shown in Fig. 1(b).
