B-DNA is the most common form of DNA and has a right-handed double helix structure. A-DNA forms in a shorter, right-handed double helix. The function of this form is to protect DNA.

He and a colleague proved a theory advanced by the Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick, who discovered DNA’s ...

Other forms of both DNA and RNA exist that subvert the classical structures of these nucleic acids. Z-DNA While the structure of DNA you will see above – and in any biology textbook you might care to ...

Taken in 1952, this image is the first X-ray picture of DNA, which led to the discovery of its molecular structure by Watson and Crick.Created by Rosalind Franklin using a technique called X-ray ...

DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one another, known as a double helix, but it is possible for DNA to change shape and structure.
