Step 1
Step 1: Recall the equation for calculating ΔG, the change in Gibbs free energy, which is given by ΔG = ΔH - TΔS, where ΔH is the enthalpy change, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and ΔS is the entropy change. Show more…

Heat can disrupt hydrogen bonding between DNA strands. Which of the following DNA strands would denature (come apart) at the highest temperature? A) 50% AT and 50% GC B) 10% AT and 90% GC C) 30% AT and 70% GC D) 70% AT and 30% GC

When you increase the temperature of a solution with DNA, the strands eventually separates. Which piece of DNA would require more heat to separate its strands, a) 200 base pairs with 40% G/C and 60% A/T or b) 200 base pairs 60% G/C and 40% A/T? Explain your reasoning using structural biology.
