Finally, an individual strand may exhibit a mixed bonding pattern, with a parallel strand on one side and an antiparallel strand on the other.

In a double helix the direction of the nucleotides in one strand is opposite to their direction in the other strand: the strands are antiparallel.

Judson describes how Watson spent a large amount of time ignoring Crick's belief (based on Franklin's determination of the space group) that the two backbone strands were antiparallel.

So two vectors : and : are equal if : Opposite, parallel, and antiparallel vectors Two vectors are opposite if they have the same magnitude but opposite direction.

So two vectors : and : are opposite if : Two vectors are parallel if they have the same direction but not necessarily the same magnitude, or antiparallel if they have opposite direction but not necessarily the same magnitude.
