Sep 23, 2014 at 20:45 comment added Simon Woods It might be best to leave it as it is now, since there is an answer which appears to address both questions.

Sep 21, 2014 at 22:15 comment added thils @Woods Fair enough, valid point....will try to carve out the question into two soon.
Sep 21, 2014 at 11:09 comment added Simon Woods When you have two distinct questions it is generally better to ask them separately. The site is easier for people to use that way (eg a future user looking for how to visualize secondary structure might overlook a question which appears to be about fractal dimensions). Also, you can only accept one answer, so what will you do if you get awesome but separate answers to both questions?
Sep 21, 2014 at 2:13 comment added thils subutu-ap.eng.hokudai.ac.jp/nakayama/pdf/… provides a good source of quantifying the fractal dimension of this biomolecule, assuming that we consider that it is made up of networked nodes etc......I admit that this is not an easy problem, maybe an earlier query mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/13125/… may be useful....so we map an image of the biomolecule & measure its fractal dimension via this method
Sep 21, 2014 at 2:07 comment added thils en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_secondary_structure gives a description of secondary structure which has to do with base pairs within the molecular system. This option is provided within MMA-10
Sep 21, 2014 at 2:00 comment added Igor Rivin How do you define fractal dimension (notice that for a physical system this is not a trivial question at all)? What is "secondary structure"?
