I finally had some free time to work on this one. I made two models, which
you can see here:
http://www.texbrick.com/quick_pics/dna/
The models aren't perfect, and are as close as I could get to making a
functional model (i.e. a model that transforms between the ladder and double
helix shape).
Hopefully this helps. If not, I hope it will stimulate some interest among
readers and provide them with a starting point to create their own designs.
thanks,
TJ Avery

| (...) Cool, TJ! One question: will #1 remain in a helix shape without being held in it? If a design would statically remain as a ladder or a helix, I would think that it would make a *great* set for TLC to produce! (not the *whole* DNA strand, mind (...)

| Another version, that can't get flat (ladder shape) but can split in the middle with different connection for different nucleic acid pairs. And it is rigid enough to remain straight. (URL) of symbols for nucleic acids is of course arbitrary !!! (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jun-02, to lugnet.technic)

| Does anyone have any good ideas for constructing a model of DNA? I'm looking for construction ideas to create a "functional" model. It is preferable that the model can be manipulated from a ladder shape to the normal helical DNA shape (i.e. (...) (22 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)
