Abstract

Model file name: DNA-294bp-handle-supercoil.stl

Authors: Michelle E Howell, Karin van Dijk, Kalika Mahato, Rebecca L Roston

This is a teaching model of a long, thin representation of double stranded DNA (294 bp). The DNA model has small handles on the ends to aid in holding and manipulating the model. The model is designed to go with a teaching module on DNA supercoiling. The model can be accompanied by Nucleosome and H1 histone models to demonstrate DNA packaging in the cell. The printable model is already uploaded to Shapeways.com in the MacroMolecules shop under the name “294bp DNA (handles)”. This model has been printed successfully using these parameters on Shapeways’ laser sintering printer in the Elasto Plastic material.
