DNA Is Dynamic And Has High Energy; Not Stiff Or Static As First Envisioned

Nobel laureates Drs. Francis Crick and James Watson's first model of DNA is shown as a rigid double helix. However, the model is a stiff snapshot of idealized DNA. As researchers now note, DNA is not stiff or static. It is dynamic with high energy existing naturally in a slightly underwound state and its status changes in waves generated by normal cell functions.
