title: DNurbs: DNA modeled with NURBS.
abstract: DNurbs (dee-in-urbs) are a small number of bicubic patches wrapping each base pair in complementary DNA. NURBS, the nonuniform rational B-spline surfaces now popular in computer graphics, are employed for the patches. Control points for the surface patches are generated from the molecular surface based on canonical base pairs.
