A 1000 base pair double-stranded DNA (B form) has a melting temperature (T_m ) of 58^ C . If a duplex RNA (A form) of the same length and sequence is constructed, then the T_m of this new RNA duplex with respect to the DNA (B form) would be
Options
- Ahigher due to greater stability of A form of RNA duplex.
- Blower due to lower stability of A form of RNA duplex.
- Clower because of unfavourable enthalpy of formation of RNA duplex.
- Didentical, as the number of hydrogen bonds remain the same.
Correct answer
A. higher due to greater stability of A form of RNA duplex.
