Question
Chapter 29, Problem 11P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for making DNA radioactive needs to be suggested.
Concept introduction:
DNA endonuclease is an enzyme which can cut the DNA strand by breaking the phosphodiester bond between two nucleotides. It will generate one 3’OH and one 5’ phosphoryl group at the end of broken strands.
