Structure of DNA

DNA is a long double chain or duplex ‘molecule’ formed of millions of deoxyribonucleotides.DNA duplex has a diameter of 20 A.The duplex is coiled plectonemically in a right handed manner just as rope stair is twisted to form a spiral.this coiling produces alternate major and minor grooves.
