In addition to the standard base-paired helical structures (e.g., Fig. 24-2), DNA can form X-shaped hairpin structures

Question:

In addition to the standard base-paired helical structures (e.g., Fig. 24-2), DNA can form X-shaped hairpin structures called cruciforms in which most bases are involved in Watson-Crick pairs. Such structures tend to occur at sequences with inverted repeats. Draw the cruciform structure formed by the DNA sequence TCAAGTCCACGGTGGACTTGC.
