The double helical structure of DNA, 3D animation with no audio
Description:
Based on available data from X-ray diffraction patterns and 3D conceptualization through model building, Watson and Crick proposed that DNA is a double helix "a twisted ladder" with two phosphate-based backbones and "runged" nucleotides that pair.
