Complementary hydrogen bonding

Section 28 8 The most common form of DNA is B DNA which exists as a right handed double helix The carbohydrate-phosphate backbone lies on the outside the punne and pyrimidine bases on the inside The double helix IS stabilized by complementary hydrogen bonding (base pairing) between adenine (A) and thymine (T) and guanine (G) and cytosine (C)...
