Erwin Chargaff discovered the comlimentary base pairing and also the amount of purines is equal to that of pyrimidines. This discovery helped Watson and Crick in proposing the double helical structure of DNA in which the two stands are held together by hydrogen bonding between the nucleotide bases as proposed by Chargaff.

What is a linker DNA?

Linker DNA is short stretches of DNA that connect nucleosomes, the basic units of chromatin. These linkers help to position and stabilize nucleosomes along the DNA strand and play a role in regulating gene expression and chromatin structure.


What are the different enzymes in the DNA?

Biological catalysis is dominated by enzymes that are made of protein, but several distinct classes of catalytic RNAs are known to promote chemical transformations that are fundamental to cellular metabolism. Is biological catalysis limited only to these two biopolymers, or is DNA also capable of functioning as an enzyme in nature? To date, no DNA enzymes of natural origin have been found. However, an increasing number of catalytic DNAs, with characteristics that are similar to those of ribozymes, are being produced outside the confines of the cell. An assessment of the potential for structure formation by DNA leads to the conclusion that DNA might have considerable latent potential for enzymatic function.
