Molecular Modeling of Nucleic Acids
Abstract
Molecular modeling of nucleic acids began with James Watson and Francis Crick (1). Watson and Crick integrated the experimental findings of many other scientists with their own stereochemical insights to juxtapose the building blocks of DNA, the bases, in a novel way. The now familiar double helix was the result. Although they used no computers for this, theirs was molecular modeling of the highest order! We begin this chapter with an overview of the experimental and theoretical developments which played a role in Watson and Crick's discovery. We continue by highlighting other milestones to our present understanding of nucleic acid structure, dynamics, and function.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
