Se trata de una doble hélice dextrógira, al igual que el ADN-B,con un surco menor poco profundo y un poco más amplio que el surco mayor, que es más profundo. En comparación a la doble hélice del ADN-B, ésta es más abierta, tiene mayor diámetro y una disposición de las bases nitrogenadas más alejada del eje de la hélice. 1, record 1, Spanish, - ADN%2DA
