Simple model of the DNA. I needed to make this model for a presenation at school. Feel free to use it in class or other places. Use different Colors for the different Bases. May do it like i did it in the rendering. 

Decide and Calculate which and how many of the bases you need. In total you should come to at least 22 bases and two Strings.

Half if you want to make RNA

NOTE!

Only one Base will fit in the one of your bases so keep an eye on the number which should be the same for each type of Base. (Base 1 with Base 2 and Base 3 with Base 4)

Assembly

To put it together, just superglue all the bases on the string and conect them with each other in the middle. I personally used a 3D-Pen to joint the parts together but superglue should work to. Let it dry an enjoy your own personal copy of the DNA!

Keep in mind that only base 1 and 2 and base 3 and 4 will fit together!
