沃森-克里克双螺旋模型中发现的DNA的特定比例的解释建议。它是基于经典的，高度美学的概念，被称为黄金比例。具体地说，它表明，在B-DNA的间距~直径和直径~偏移是非常接近的黄金分割比。这里，螺距是螺旋重复，偏移是指形成小沟的垂直距离。
An interpretation of the particular proportions of DNA as found in the Watson-Crick double helix model is suggested. It is based on the classical, highly aesthetical concept known as the Golden Ratio. Specifically, it is shown that in B-DNA both pitch~ diameter and diameter~ offset are extremely close to the Golden Ratio. Here, pitch is the helical repeat, and offset refers to the vertical distance that forms the minor groove.
