Scientists from the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAV) have developed a three-dimensional elastic model of a DNA molecule, which could be an important aid in elucidating relations between the structure, mechanical properties and biological functions of the molecule.
"The model could serve as a great teaching tool for schools. It can be picked up and explored, it is fun and interactive, but it can also be a tool for scientists when researching DNA and creating computer models," said Dusan Racko from the SAV Institute of Polymers, inviting potential partners to engage in cooperation and licensing in order to jointly contribute towards bringing the elastic model to practical life.
