Drew asked What shape does your life take the form of?
I answered:
A helix. Usually coiled up tight on itself, spiraling in its own way, mostly right-handed but sometimes left-handed. Lately, however, the helix has been stretching open, waving nucleotides fetchingly (or so it hopes), poised to pounce on potential complementary nucleotide/phosphate based complexes for a little AT/GC interaction, perhaps even zipping into a double for a short time, visions of C(sub9)H(sub13)NO(sub3) writhing in its head.
And you?
