DNA weaves a braided pattern : Two DNA single strands with mixed D ‐ and L ‐ nucleotides combine to weave a braided toroidal link. 5′,5′ linkages (fused circles) and 3′,3′ linkages (bow‐tie structures) are needed to maintain the strand polarity. Properly placed L ‐nucleotides are needed to achieve the woven pattern.
