DNA 3D Structure Model with labels

This is a quick and dirty model that I created in Maya. The deoxyribose nucleic seen here represents a basic interpretation of the chemical bonds that would be present in a single strand or double Helix. I colored the anti parallels both red and blue to simulate their adjacent qualities as they spiral upwards and string along and bond the genes themselves.

The genes can be seen as Thymine and Adenine/ Cytosine and Guanine. These are the only formations these gene patterns can form therefore, Thymine will only bond with Adenine, and Cytosine will only bond with Guanine. Not appearing in this animation are the basic hydrogen bonds that connect the nucleotides. Also note that the genes coils themselves are elongated and therefore are NOT supercoiled.

Well thats enough yammering, the background tune is provided by "The Octopus Project"

Could you possibly send me the general way you did this? Like how you change the colors and make it look like a double helix. I am trying ,but am having a rather hard time. Or maybe you know a website that could tell me or that has a tutorial. I would be very grateful for the help.

@chatonfatele Hello, been awhile since I made it, didnt take any longer than an hour really. I just made the basic shapes and used mayas duplicate feature only I set the variables to duplicate and spece them apart on all three axis's. As far as the colors go I just made them in the hypershade, lamberts I believe.

Hi, y need a 3d dna video for a proyect. Can you sendme that animation??? thancks...

[naireland]

sure, how?

that waz so dumbed

[joshgura]

the music made me comment
