What is Polytope

The process of formation of spirals (right and left) in the DNA molecule is described for the first time. Representations of the higher dimensionality of the constituent DNA molecules (D-ribose and phosphoric acid ion), developed in the previous works of the author, are used. Images of a DNA molecule with elements of higher dimension are presented. The higher dimensionality of the constituent DNA molecules, which allows to describe mathematically the structure of DNA, requires reconsidering the issues of tight packing of DNA molecules in cells, viruses and bacteria, provided that the DNA chains necessary for the preservation and transfer of genetic information are complementary.
