The link is outdated due to technical considerations. Replacement simulations modeled for modern web browsers are located at http://www.umass.edu/molvis/tutorials/dna/.
Technical Remarks:
The Chime plugin link is no longer available and the Chime MDL language has been phased out after development was ceased in 1998. These simulations have been subsequently re-developed using JMOL, which relies on the widely available Java plugin for molecule visualizations.
