Abstract: New plastic atomic-molecular models have been designed, which enable to exactly imitate the structure and conformational changes of micro-and macro-molecules including polymers. These models have improved parameters, a handy nomenclature of units and an extreme firmness of linking connectors. They allow to measure and adjust dihedral (torsional) angles and atomic co-ordinates of the molecular chains. The scale is 1 cm = 1Å(0.10 nm).

Keywords: atomic-molecular models; conformational changes; molecular modelling; molecular structure; nucleotide pairs; cellulose allomorphs; biomembrane lipid bilayers; molecular chains.
