Fig. 5

Stable folded slippage models of mononucleotide to hexanucleotide repeats contraction according to the strict geometric calculation of the space of a nucleotide and the stability of hydrogen and phosphodiester bonds. Repeat units tend to be subtracted in the replicating strands when the template strands are on the outside of the folded slippage models respectively. The bottom 3 sub-figures were the folded slippage models in three-dimensional helix form
