If you could climb the twisted ladder of a DNA molecule and look down, you might see something like the image above. Kenneth Eward, a science artist at BioGrafx Scientific & Medical Images in Ovid, Michigan, used x-ray crystallographic data from DNA molecules to paint a unique portrait of the double helix. The image omits the chemical bonds that crisscross the center of the molecule, so that the structural features of the helix can be seen more easily. Via.
