Study Notes
DNA Structure
- The base pairing rule in DNA states that adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C).
Hydrogen Bonds
- Adenine and thymine are connected by 2 hydrogen bonds.
DNA Forms
- The Z-form of DNA has a left-handed helix.
DNA Helix Dimensions
- The diameter of the B DNA helix is approximately 2 nanometers (nm).
