This page is devoted to artistic pictures of Right Handed DNA. As shown in the figures to the left and right, most DNA twists as a "right-hand screw". This is the same direction as a regular wood or metal screw. See the Left Handed DNA Hall of Fame too!
(Thanks to Eric Putz at my alma mater CU's MCDB for permission to use the rotating DNA.)
