Models of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) having chain directions opposite to those of the Watson and Crick model offer strikingly different alternatives for DNA structures. Satisfactory models of the B and C forms of DNA have been built. Left-handed models readily form by twisting right-handed ones, and models can be bent into tight supercoils.
具有与沃森和克里克模型链方向相反的脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)模型为DNA结构提供了截然不同的替代方案。已经构建出了令人满意的B型和C型DNA模型。通过扭转右手模型很容易形成左手模型,并且模型可以弯曲成紧密的超螺旋。
