Graphical representations of each of the 4 initial system states are illustrated in Figures 14. The red and blue spheres represent nucleic acid chains and the larger yellow/light blue
spheres represent Na+ and Cl- ions (salt) in the solvent. Below are illustrations of the
actual test systems that are reasonably scaled with the exception of the size of the nucleic
acids and ions being exaggerated to make them more visible among the water molecules.

Figure 3: Perpendicular "T" Configuration
Figure 4: Skew Configuration
The following are the graphical results for the remaining 4 systems (parallel,
perpendicular T, skew, and the end-to-end linear with randomly sequenced molecules).
