DNA mini model

 

The advanced miniDNA® system comprises colour-coded, abstract-shaped parts designed to represent the nitrogenous bases, pentagonal sugar and pyramidal phosphate components needed to make a double-helix model of DNA.  The three hydrogen bonds that connect Cytosine to Guanine and the two that connect Thymine to Adenine are represented by the appropriate number of pegs.
