Parallel

Antiparallel



Parallel (reverse Watson-Crick) G:C base pair (left). Compare to normal antiparallel Watson-Crick G:C (right). Hydrogen bonds are indicated by the green dotted lines, although the hydrogens themselves are not shown. The exocyclic N2 amino group of G15 is the H-bond donor to N3 of C48. N1 imino hydrogen of G15 is donated to N3 of C48.
