Meet the Chemiballs: the Nuclear Nucleic Acids

You probably remember from highschool biology that Nucleic acids are the chemicals that make up DNA, that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, and exactly nothing else.

So here’s a quick refresher: DNA is made of a chain of nucleotides that come in four(ish) flavors: Adanineball, Thymineball, Guanineball, and Cytocineball. Also Uracilball. They each connect with their loved one in the opposing strand, as DNA is made of a double helix.

Adanineball is a fuckboy who cheats on his girlfriend Thymineball with her quirky chemically unstable twin sister Uracilball, and Guanineball and Cytocineball have a healthy relationship.

Yes, that's exactly how it was in school. They should make a sitcom out of this.

Meet the Chemiballs: the Nuclear Nucleic Acids

A romantic comedy about nucleic acids. The love triangle between Adenine, Thymine, and Uracil. Don't get that in your normal chemistry class

here's an article I wrote a while ago about how they were all named after weird cow bits by weird Germans.
