The video features a close-up view of a DNA strand, with a focus on the double helix structure. The helix is composed of two intertwined strands, each with a backbone of phosphate groups and a series of nucleotide pairs. The nucleotide pairs are represented by different colors, including purple, yellow, orange, and pink, which stand out against the gold-colored backbone. The video provides a rotating view of the helix, allowing the viewer to see the structure from various angles. The rotation is smooth and continuous, providing a comprehensive look at the intricate details of the DNA strand.
