A very well designed, interactive, 3-D tutorial on the basic structure of DNA. Covers the nature of the double helix, base pairing relationships and the bonds which hold the molecule together.
The link is outdated due to technical considerations.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.
