DNA Construction Set

Helping my daughter build a DNA model for school out of wire and beads, I realized that this was an ideal object for a set of standardized interlocking parts. This construction set strives for biological accuracy and educational value.

- approximately 65,000,000 : 1 scale
- 10.5 base pairs per twist
- reversible bonds along the spine
- interlocking hydrogen bonds
- major and minor grooves
- representations of carbon and phosphate rings
