The structure of a DNA molecule is not the primary concern here, because the arrangement of nucleotides into coded information goes a huge step beyond mere structure.
You seem to think the "structure" of the DNA molecule is just the framework. The arrangement of nucleotides is the
fine structure. Every DNA molecule has the same framework, but it's the fine structure that holds the information.
You seem to be saying that "a building is a building" and there's some magic code that distinguishes one building from another. In reality, it's the arrangement of the rooms - the fine structure - that distinguishes one building from another.
Yes, the molecular arrangement, the fine-structure arrangement of the nucleotides
is only structure.
