Line-talk: DNA Double Helix

Line-talk: DNA Double Helix

I noticed a reply post a couple days ago to a request for a DNA double 
helix.  The reply had something resembling an hour glass, which was 
enough to get me to try and see if I could come up with something.
These two are what I made up.  One is with "base-pairs" and one is 
without (you decide which one looks better/clearer).  They are also both 
techincally accurate to some extent, being right handed helices with 
different size major and minor grooves. Also, only four lines long.
