Chapter 26, Problem 26.25P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of a thymine residue that exists after O4 methylation is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, is a biological macromolecule. DNA contains double helical strands along with the complementary base pairs. The four complementary bases of DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). In the formation of recombinant DNA, the restriction enzymes are involved to cut the particular region in the DNA molecule. This region is known as restriction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why O4 alkylation at thymine disrupts Watson-Crick base pairing is to be stated.
