frostbite · Answer

From my head, just a matter of remembering... don't worry i am sure about pauling have been studying his work lately... just made a mistake with this guy... know him for discribing the structure of DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic acid) along with Francis Crick and James Watson (Francis Crick and James Watson is more known in my eyes).

frostbite · Answer

Described the structure of DNA ... you know the double alpha helix with a phosphate backbone and the DNA being anti-parallel, one backbone being 3' (three prime) and the other 5' (five prime) and the four bases adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T) is paired in a specific way.
