throllen Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 my prof in genetic class gave everyone this take home question for us to think about: What would happen to the supercoiling of the DNA if the C2 and C3 carbon bond at the sugar backbone is cut? Shouldn't it disrupt the supercoiling in a way that all the base will not stack anymore? This one is a toughie...
DrDNA Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 You are on the right track. What would happen if you replaced some of the material that connects the rungs of a ladder with flexible material...or replaced some of the material between the steps of a spiral staircase with rubber? Mama mia that's a some a fine spaghetti......... PS: You should probably put this in HW help
