Given two complementary strands of DNA containing 1.05 × 102 base pairs each, calculate the ratio of two separate strands to hydrogen-bonded double helix in solution at 3.16 × 102 K. (Hint: The formula for calculating this ratio is e ERT, where AE is the energy difference between hydrogen-bonded double-strand DNAs and single-strand DNAs and R is the gas constant.) Assume the energy of hydrogen bonds per base pair to be 7.70 x 102 kJlmol under laboratory conditions. This model is a simplification of reality. 2
