Learn how the double helix of DNA was discovered by Watson, Crick, Franklin, and others through X-ray crystallography and biochemical analysis. Explore the properties and components of the DNA molecule and its antiparallel, right-handed helix.
- A codon is the name for a group of three subsequent nucleotides in RNA. Since RNA is transcribed from DNA, the DNA sequence will determine the sequ...
- As far as the 2nd question is concerned , it is because the double helix should have a uniform diameter all throughout otherwise there might be pro...
- Seems mostly correct. The one mistake I notice is that I think the word you were looking for was histones (not histamin). Chromatin is composed of...
- I'm not sure it is the NH2 group which accepts protons most readily to make it a base. I think it could be the nitrogens in the rings, which I thin...
- You can tell if if the helix is right handed or left handed based on the way it twists. Here's a link to an image that shows the difference between...
- I will answer you the way I have answered this question before with other users. I hope it is adequate. There are several differences. To start, DN...
- The four nitrogenous bases are as follows: Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine. Cytosine and Thymine are pyrimidines Adenine and Guanine are pu...
- There isn't a single order — all combinations along a strand are possible. The only thing that is fixed in DNA is that A pairs with T, and G pairs...
