Line-talk: DNA Double Helix

· 1 message · 25 Feb 1995
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. -. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. . ||\|||\ /|||\|||\ /|||\|||\ /| |/ \|||\|||/ \|||\|||/ \|||\|| ~ `-~ `-` `-~ `-` `-~ `- -. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. . \ \ / \ \ / \ \ / / \ \ / \ \ / \ \ ~ `-~ `-` `-~ `-` `-~ `- -- Sam Moghtaderi '97 Berkeley College at Yale University http://www.cis.yale.edu/~sammogh/sammy.html
