Following is a table (modified from Kropinski, 1973) that presents the Tm and chemical composition (%G , C) of DNA from certain bacteriophages. From these data develop a graph that presents %G ≡ C (ordinate) and Tm (abscissa). What is the relationship between Tm and %G ≡ C for these samples? What might be the molecular basis of this relationship? Visit for instructor-assigned tutorials and problems.
Phage | Tm | %G ≡ C |
α | 86.5 | 44.0 |
κ | 91.5 | 53.8 |
λ | 89 | 49.2 |
ϕ 80 | 90.5 | 53.0 |
χ | 92.1 | 57.4 |
Mu-1 | 88 | 51.4 |
T1 | 89 | 48.0 |
T3 | 90 | 49.6 |
T7 | 89.5 | 48.0 |
