From: Relatively semi-conservative replication and a folded slippage model for short tandem repeats

Fig. 2

Straight strand models of semi-conservative replication and slippage. a The space of a nucleotide was drawn. * indicates that those number is the theoretical values (top); The stable straight model of semi-conservative replication (middle); The comparison of hydrogen bond and 3′-5′ phosphodiester bonds (bottom) [55,56,57]. # indicates the strength ratio was calculated by the strength of hydrogen bond dividing that of phosphodiester bond. b The impossible straight slippage models of mononucleotide, dinucleotide and trinucleotide repeats according to the strict geometric calculation of the space of a nucleotide and the stability of hydrogen and phosphodiester bonds
