Question
In an experiment, DNA is treated with a compound which tends to place itself amongst the stacks of nitrogenous base pairs. As a result of which, the distance between two consecutive base increases, from 0.34nm to 0.44 nm. Calculate the length of DNA double helix (which has 2 × 109 bp) in the presence of saturating amount of this compound.
