1440 degree DNA double helix Rodin coil

I think this is enough information that one needs to build a DNA double helix Rodin coil. Let me know if you do and what experiments you do. I will suggest some experiments later but for now you are on your own, exploring the unknown where the credentialed fear to tread. BTW – Hey Marco Rodin, come on man, I have been trying to contact you to no avail. Feds got you or something? ;-)

How to Create a Double Helix DNA Model

A simple and easy way.

does more hydrogen bonds between base pairs mean a more stable dna helix?

Question by kent l: does more hydrogen bonds between base pairs mean a more stable dna helix?
does more hydrogen bonds between A-T, G-C mean the dna helix will be more stable?

Best answer:

Answer by Marc B
Yes. More H-bonds mean that it takes more energy to break the DNA base pair which makes the bond more stable. GC has 3 H-bonds and is a more stable bp than AT, which has 2.
