[[Image:Watson | [[Image:Watson Crick base pairing.gif]] (red arrows connect hydrogen bond donors and acceptors within a base pair). Hydrogen bond partners (A: acceptor, D: donor) and hydrophobic groups (*: methyl group on thymine) of the major groove (blue labels, on top in right panel) and the minor groove (green labels, on bottom in right panel) are available for interaction with other molecules.
