Evidence Falsifying the Double Helix Model

Abstract

Through more than 40 years of reading, thinking, searching, and experimentation, we have found that the double helix model carries some defects or incorrect information. Evidence gleaned from the literature clearly indicates that the two strands of DNA are coiled ambidextrously, rather than plectonemically. It is likely that the linking number of native chromosomal Escherichia coli (E. coli) DNA is less than 960. Presently, a clear voice is necessary to break the ice formed from decades of misleading media, questionable textbooks, and expediency. For the sake of science, we are responsible and willing to share our hard-earned knowledge, experience, and knack with the public. A promising research plan is provided for the additional falsification of the right-handed double helix model. It would be a precision hit at the Achilles’ heel of the double helix model. An appropriate conceptual shift will hopefully lead to new knowledge on the secondary structure of DNA and improve understanding of its biological functions.
