In a segment of DNA consisting of 1000 nitrogen bases, 28% of which are thymine, how many bases are adenine, guanine, and cytosine?
DNA and RNA are chemically very similar but are distinguished, in large part, by the presence of a 2’-OH group in RNA and a 2’-H group in DNA. Why do you suppose that both DNA and RNA have 3’-OH groups and we do not typically find nucleic acids within cells that have 3’-H groups?
Two proteins (A and B) can interact to form a non-covalent complex AB. Suppose the
K₂ for this interaction is 2.86 x 106 M-1. If you mix 2 x 10-7 M of protein A with 6.1
x 10-10 M of protein B, what is the final concentration of AB?
