DNA Base Models

So to carry on with my project to build molecular models. I have built the 4 main base molecules associated with DNA

dna structure infographic

So the following is are based on the structures in the above infographic

Adenine

cytosine

guanine

thymine

Note:I ran out of 3 bond nitrogens while building these, so at least one has a 4 bond nitrogen, so this explains if there is what looks like a stray bond.

I have now built a DNA model from popsicle sticks, cardboard, string and glue. The bases are colour coded and labelled, to match the molecule models they represent.
