[] (Supa Fly Discovery of the Double Helix Rap) Lyrics: Born in 1 9 1 6, Im crick My Nobel peace prize says Im no hick 21 years, Receiving my Bach sci in phys..ics During the war i made this mine, check it out it's sick
 * Double helix videos:**

Since the war, i was all about molecular biology Totally unrelated to my study on water's viscosity I started looking at cytoplasm and all that Examining protein structure, which i would later benefit

Moving on to x-ray crystallography, Taught it to myself, you won't find it in my bibliography All this biophysics cuts like a knife On my way to the secret, the secret of life

It didn't take a Ph. D For, me, Francis Crick to see That the hypothesized alpha helixes Would not function properlys

Chorus A to the T an C to the G Take a gander at all of our degrees Its W-w-w-Watsons and Cricky-cricky cricks! Supa fly discovery of the double helix

Born in 1928 His work with Crick has made him great

Yo comrades, you can call me James D. Watson At the tender age of fif-teen I got some Education at Chicagos university Age nineteen, B.S in zoology

Thats Bachelor of Science to you Not that other derogatory term you may be used to Early 1948, I joined the Phage group I soon found myself in a scientific troop

On the way to finding the secret of the gene Back in those days we thought the genes were proteins Protein genes? whatever could they mean Nothing seems to fit together.

DNA was thought to be a stupid tetranucleotide From the Phage group, I knew better, I soon cast this guess aside Avery and his colleagues conducted an experiment This overlooked DNA turned out to be important

A to the T an C to the G Take a gander at all of our degrees Its W-w-w-Watsons and Cricky-cricky cricks! Supa fly discovery of the double helix

October 1951 the legends get together Check out my belt, its made out of faux-leather Dr. Crick, that was quite pathetic for a rhyme Quiet Dr. Watson, Im trying to fill the time

Now we know DNA holds the genetic instruction We snuck a peek at Rosalind Franklins X-ray diffraction Our first model phosphate backbones on the inside

No, the phosphates are almost certainly on the outside. Miss Franklin replied

After our first failure, we were then forbidden Like Adam and Eve in The Garden of Eden 1953 we got another chance to try again More of Franklins findings we did secretly obtain

Playing with molecular models made of cardboard Wait! They fit! Something struck a chord!

Watson, we did it! These chains of nucleotide Theres two of them! In a double helix they entwine!

On the inside you can find the nucleotide base With the phosphate backbone, they form a helix staircase

Number of adenine and thymine are in proportion Same with cytosine and guanine, no distortion

Adenine and guanine are purines, cytosine and thymine pyrimidines What do you know? They have the same ratio! Well now break it down at KFCs patio

A to the T an C to the G Take a gander at all of our degrees Its W-w-w-Watsons and Cricky-cricky cricks! Supa fly discovery of the double helix

A-T base pair get two hydrogen bonds G-c, gots three, dayum, they strong

Two-ring purine binds with One-ring pyrimidine This helps keeps the diameter To approximately two nanometer

These two nucleotide strands are complementary Youd think that this stuff would be elementary ATGC is base paired with TAGC Well how about ATGCTAGC? That would be TACGATCG?

All of these strands are runnin 5 to 3 This is applicable all of the time But theyre going in opposite directions This anti parallelism is our perfection

This Antiparallel configuration Holds an implication For future generations Its the key to replication Of DNA, for everyones nation!

A to the T an C to the G Take a gander at all of our degrees Its W-w-w-Watsons and Cricky-cricky cricks! Supa fly discovery of the double helix [] (interactive) [] (video)
