now that we all know the structure of DNA (right?), I can get a little more artistic. This is intended to be sort of an outdoorsy image, with each strand one color - brown and green for tree bark and leaves. Okay, so it's a little hokey... :)
This was sort of an accident. I put the DNA into a solid glass dodecahedron,thinking of making one of those fancy object-embedded-in-glass paperweight thingies.
Some people build ships in bottles, but what about DNA? :)This is intended to be a piece on display in a museum or art gallery. The bottle and beveled shelf were created with Moray.
A standard CPK model, colored by element, against a stone background.The flat base-pairs are stacked in the center of the strand, perpendicular to the view, and the backbone makes a right-handed spiral around the central, vertical axis.
