Coordinates are presented for a refined model of the side-by-side (SBS) structure for the in vivo B-form of duplex DNA. Bond lengths and bond angles are within 0.025A and 2.0 degrees of standard values and there are no non-bonded intramolecular contacts shorter than 2.75 A. These and other details of the refined model indicate that the SBS proposal is stereochemically viable.
