Chargaff observed that the number of Guanine units in a section/piece of DNA was the same as the number of Cysteine units and that the number of Thymine units equaled the number of Adenine units.
This matched the double helix structure because Cysteine pairs with Guanine, and Thymine pairs with Adenine - meaning that Chargaff was right in that there must be an equal number of Cysteines and Guanines as well as equal Thymines and Adenines.
Double Helix the structure of double coiled DNA
No, RNA does not have a double helix structure like DNA.
Double Helix
No, RNA cannot form a double helix structure like DNA.
The supporting structure of the DNA double helix is called the sugar-phosphate backbone.
In the DNA. The term "double helix" refers to the structure of DNA.
The sugar-phosphate supporting structure of the DNA double helix is called the backbone. This is why the DNA is commonly referred to as a double helix.
Normally, DNA forms a right-handed double helix but it can also come in other forms.
