The Melting Profile for a DNA Is Found to Differ

question 12

Multiple Choice

The melting profile for a DNA is found to differ in two different salt solutions.In 0.001 M NaCl,T_m = 55° C,and in 0.01 M NaCl,T_m = 65°C. The fundamental reason for this change is

• A) higher salt concentration increases the electrostatic repulsions between phosphates
• B) the base stacking is more effective in high salt
• C) hydrogen bonding between complementary bases in enhanced at high salt
• D) higher salt concentration decreases the electrostatic repulsions between phosphates
