DNA's helix may have arisen with startling ease (Image 4)
A model of an RNA helix. A new study led by Nicholas Hud, a Regents Professor in Georgia Tech’s School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, suggests the rotation in DNA and RNA may have occurred with ease billions of years ago when RNA’s chemical ancestors casually spun into spiraled strands.

DNA's helix may have arisen with startling ease (Image 1)
Nicholas Hud researches the possible origins of life chemicals on early Earth, when many of them may have formed in puddles. He has produced good candidates for precursors of RNA in easy reactions and in plentiful quantities using triaminopyrimidine, Cyanuric acid, barbituric acid and melamine. ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.
