Exercise 11

Draw I T Copy the polynucleotide strand in Figure 5.24a and label the bases G, T, C, and T, starting from the 5 end. Assuming this is a DNA polynucleotide, now draw the complementary strand, using the same symbols for phosphates (circles), sugars (pentagons), and bases. Label the bases. Draw arrows showing the 5 S 3 direction of each strand. Use the arrows to make sure the second strand is antiparallel to the first. Hint: After you draw the first strand vertically, turn the paper upside down; it is easier to draw the second strand from the 5 toward the 3 direction as you go from top to bottom.
