How many bases in a heical turn?

[Billy Li]

Sorry for an easy question.  I have read from Kornberg that there are 10 bases
in a helical turn.  My supervisor insists that it is a bit more than 10, perhapseven 11.  My guess is that for different types of DNA (A, B and Z) the numbers
are slightly different.  Anyone has the exact numbers please.

Please email or post.

Thanks in advance.
