DNA Structure and formation help?

In a way it is automatic. The nucleotides that are the rungs in the ladder that make the helix ladder are organic polymers themselves and so their configuration follows the same laws as any organic stucture formation would.

In other words the nucleotides, being polymers have electrical charges between each of the atoms that form that chain. The molecules position themselves in relation to the other nearby nucleotides to find that shape which gives them the most stability and least amount of energy.

That's how crick and watson found DNA, because they found the helix shape was the only shape that would allow all those nucleotides(polymers) to reside next to each other without blowing apart from electrostatic forces. But the shape also lends to unraveling itself with little energy when it comes time for replication of the DNA

nicely, its stressful to comprehend precisely what you're asking, yet DNA Does have a ladder shape. Its only that the forces between the atoms in the molecule reason it to curl right into a helix, besides. because of the fact it particularly is a helix, this shape aspects power and stability to the molecule. it particularly is named an acid because of the fact each and each nucleotide (the "rungs" of the ladder) is somewhat acidic (this is it classified ads somewhat bit H+ to an aqueous answer).
