Sequence-dependent pentameric shape and stiffness parameters for DNA and RNA duplexes

The data contain sequence-dependent shape and stiffness parameters for DNA and RNA double helices. The following datasets are provided: Equilibrium intra-base pair coordinates, minor groove width, and minor groove stiffness for all the 1024 pentameric sequences Equilibrium inter-base pair and helical coordinates for all the 4096 hexameric sequences (constructed from overlapping pentamers) Pentameric stiffness matrix blocks comprising inter-base pair coordinates only Pentameric stiffness matrix blocks comprising both intra-base pair and inter-base pair coordinates All the data files are in comma-separated values (csv) format. A README file is included with detailed description of the data organization. Furthermore, we provide the python script (kmer_packing.py) we used to create the minimal sequence containing each unique pentanucleotide exactly once.
