Figure 4. (a) An illustration for helical rise, helical twist, helical radius, major groove width and minor groove width for a DNA. The helical parameters for the central 14-bp segments of AA-TT, AT-TA and GENE including helical rise (b), helical twist (c), helical radius (d), major groove width (e), minor groove width (f). The error bars are the standard deviations to the respective mean values.
