Molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid

Reference no: EM13675686

A molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is 2.23 µm long. The ends of the molecule become singly ionized: negative on one end, positive on the other. The helical molecule acts like a spring and compresses 1.19% upon becoming charged, and remains in this equilibrium position. Decide the effective spring constant of the molecule. Four Sig Figs
