Abstract
General analytical mathematical equations are given for
n-fold saddle, tower saddle and helical tower saddle surfaces. The two-fold helical saddle tower is combined with the mathematics
of the Exponential Scale to create a mathematical equation for the DNA-double helix with its bridging hydrogen bonds.
