Lindemann's theory of the Double Helix

Lindemann's theory of the double helix suggests that the DNA structure is stabilized by specific interactions between the two strands. He proposed that the double helix results from hydrogen bonds between complementary bases (like adenine with thymine and guanine with cytosine), which act as molecular "glue." These hydrogen bonds help hold the two strands together in a twisted, spiral shape. Lindemann emphasized the significance of these base-pairing interactions in maintaining DNA's stability and integrity, allowing it to securely store and transmit genetic information across generations.
