So, with this in mind we can construct the input file required by NAB to
build our 10-mer polyA-polyT DNA duplex in the Arnott B-DNA canonical
structure. This program is given below. Basically, this is building two
strands of A-T paired DNA. For more specific information about the various
options, see the manual.)

molecule m;

m = fd_helix( "abdna", "aaaaaaaaaa", "dna" );
putpdb( "nuc.pdb", m, "-wwpdb");

Put the above into a plain-text file called nuc.nab.

You should also be able to do this with NAB. Or indeed just take the pdb
from above and delete the second chain.

All the best
Ross
