Structural DNA helical parameters from MD trajectory tutorial using BioExcel Building Blocks (biobb)

Based on the NAFlex server and in particular in its Nucleic Acids Analysis section.

This tutorial aims to illustrate the process of extracting structural and dynamical properties from a DNA MD trajectory helical parameters, step by step, using the BioExcel Building Blocks library (biobb). The particular example used is the Drew Dickerson Dodecamer sequence -CGCGAATTCGCG- (PDB code 1BNA). The trajectory used is a 500ns-long MD simulation taken from the BigNASim database (NAFlex_DDD_II entry).
