It's a commuter's worst nightmare, a normal day turned upside down by an explosion.

VOA: standard.2010.03.30

Remember that this molecule, let's look at the blue one wouldn't be the same if I turned it upside down.

让我们记住,如果我把蓝色的,单链倒过来,那么这条链和原来不一样了

This is important because this molecule here, deoxyribose, is not the same upside down as it is - it's not symmetrical upside down and right side up, it's different because the 5' carbon's either pointed up or pointed down.

这很重要,因为对脱氧核糖来说,不都是像这样自上而下的,不是对称的自上向下或全部向上的,长链不同是由于,5'碳向上或者向下的指向不同

It wouldn't be the same if I turned it upside down because the carbons - the rings here, the pentose's would all be turned over, the chemistry would look different and the sequence of bases would look different.

记住单链倒过来,就和原来不一样了,这是因为碳原子和糖环结构,戊糖会翻转,使得这个化学结构看起来不一样了,碱基的顺序也不一样了
