DNA double helix 3D model

Type a sequence of A, T, G and C to build the double helix, with the complementary antiparallel strand, the hydrogen bonds counted and a slider to unzip it as in DNA replication.

Questions students ask

Which bases pair in DNA?

Adenine pairs with thymine (two hydrogen bonds) and guanine with cytosine (three hydrogen bonds).

Why are DNA strands antiparallel?

The two sugar-phosphate backbones run in opposite directions, 5′ to 3′ and 3′ to 5′, which lets the bases pair up inside the helix.
