How Do You Make A DNA Model Using A Molecule Set?
DNA stands for DeoxyriboNucleic Acid, which is the primary genetic material in humans. Normal DNA comes in a double-stranded helical structure that is actually quite aesthetically pleasing. The structure of DNA is quite repetitive, which makes it easier to construct molecular models; however, each repeating unit of DNA structure still requires a great deal of expertise and attention to build correctly. Sort out the molecules in your molecular model kit. Most of these kits use a particular color scheme in which joints of one color are carbon and joints of another color are oxygen. Make sure that you sort out your elements correctly; the joints in molecular model kits have a certain number of possible bonds based on molecule type, so switching two would ruin your model. Make your purine bases (cytosine and thymine) by connecting carbon molecules and nitrogen molecules in the appropriate ring pattern. You can use the image in the References section to make sure that each molecule is in th
