The Double Non-Helix

By Ken Biegeleisen, M.D., Ph.D.

W-C twisted structure in
dead, de-proteinized crystals.

 

DNA structure in living systems:  non-helical!

 

If you can patiently work your way through these presentations, you will come to know, with certainty, that the Watson-Crick double-helix structure is mainly an artifact of deproteinization and crystallization.

(Working scientists: If you regularly perform agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA, click here to learn how you can get involved in the process of establishing the true, non-helical, non-Watson-Crick structure of DNA in living systems. Who knows; maybe the new structure will be named after you!)
