Help from biologists required:
I am in the process of generating a video to show the basics of DNA replication. The video will (in acceptable volume) be published in a relevant article of the en:WP.
As I am not sure that I understand the concept of 3´to 5´vs 5´to 3´I need some WP editor with specific knowledge to verify that my little film shows a correct process of replication.
Thank you for any help / critique and advise.

PS: I may have to split the video into shorter, maybe 60" clips to achieve some reasonable quality, but that is temporarily irrelevant.
PS2: You may have to click twice; for unknown reasons, the fist click shows but a black window.
Hi,
User:Wnt and thank you for the advice. I will modify the design and resubmit. The first attempt at abiogenesis was a total failure.
And for all we know, the current attempt (executed in online reality) may be doomed, as well 😈

PS: I will ignore that helices are not symmetrical and uneven gaps / grooves are the result. This is not an exercise in molecular geometry. --

Thank you,
user:DMacks.
I like your suggestion of switching the tubular backbones to antiparallel helical arrays of arrows to indicate the 3´/ 5´ logics of leading (continuous) / lagging (Okazaki) strand replication. This seems intuitive visual semantics. I have to experiment how to achieve that, but that is my problem. I expect a spot of brain storming in my Gothically vaulted regular winebar next to our cathedral will provide divine inspiration (or, at least, medication for ensuing frustration) 🤢.
And yes, the A/T/C/G blobs floating in and miracolously evaporating is clumsy and dilletant rubbish. This needs to be tightly modelled. A spot more brainstorming.
Your comments have been very constructive. Muchly obliged. --

Re abiogenesis: Sorry, this was just an infantilistic joke. Humour, I perceive, is a non-overlapping magesterium to the Popperian school of scientific methodology. -- Cookatoo.ergo.ZooM ( talk) 16:41, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
