The Double Helix's Overall Structure
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
DNA's double helix is a uniform, right-handed twist of two antiparallel, base-paired strands, roughly two nanometers wide along its length.
Show
One full turn of the helix spans about ten base pairs, regardless of which bases make up that turn.
Watch for
The helix's width and turn spacing stay constant everywhere — only the base sequence varies from one stretch of DNA to another.
