DNA MODEL

Here's the DNA model requirements for Tuesday's class project.

“Watson and Crick were using a different way to discern DNA’s structure:  ...
...Modeling.”
Neccessary
1.  representation of nitrogen bases, sugar, phosphate
2.  proper connection patterns
2.  Recognition of antiparallel strands.
4.  ability to show unzipping of molecule

not necessary (but optional)
