Chapter 3 DNA’s structure Antiparallel反向平行 strands of the double helix are organized in opposite orientation, so that the 5′ end of one strand is aligned with the 3′ end of the other strand.Base pairing 碱基配对describes the specific (complementary) interactions of adenine腺嘌呤with thymine胸腺嘧啶or of cytosine胞嘧啶with guanine鸟嘌呤 in a DNA double helix (the former is replaced by adenine with uracil尿嘧啶in double helical RNA).Complementary 互补base pairs碱基对are defined by the pairing reactions in double helical nucleic acids (A with T in DNA or with U in RNA, and C with G).Supercoiling超螺旋describes the coilin
