  • A-DNA is formed under 75% relative humidity and in the presence of sodium, potassium and cesium ions and not in the presence of  92% relative humidity and low ionic strength.
  • B-DNA is actually formed in the presence of  92% relative humidity and low ionic strength. It exists as right-handed double-helical DNA.
  • One turn in A-form comprises 11 bases and in  B-DNA comprises 10 base pairs.
