Description
DNA molecule. Computer graphic ball & stick model representing a segment of the molecule Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA). This is the alpha form of DNA in that the spiral winds anticlockwise when viewed from above. DNA contains the inherited instructions that produce a living organism. Atoms are depicted as colour-coded balls with stick bonds: phosphorus (orange), oxygen (red), carbon (grey), nitrogen (blue), hydrogen (white). The DNA molecule is made of two strands of atoms twisted into a helical shape. Each strand consists of an outer sugar-phosphate backbone (orange-red), from which nucleotide bases project (grey-blue). The bases are paired forming the genetic code.
