bp/turn of DNA

DNA have this periodicity in which each base is separated from the other by 36 degree angle so for the base to take a comlete round ( 360 degree ) it will take about 10 bases to do so.

To clarify the answer...the residues in the double helix are 3.6 Angstroms apart by a rise of 1.5 Angstroms...if you want to calculate the pitch then you multiply these values and you will get 5.4 Angstroms...this is the pitch of the DNA double helix.

Why DNA duplex melts at a specific temperature on heating?

DNA duplex strands are bonded by hydrogen bonds. On heating the hydrogen bonds break. At specific temperature called Tm half of the double helix is broken down (separated from each other) while the other half remains as such. This temperature can be determined , also the GC bond is stronger than AT so in such cases the temperature is more if the helix has more GC bonds.


What holds the DNA helicases apart?

Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) help hold the DNA helicases apart by coating and stabilizing the unwound single-stranded DNA. This prevents reannealing of the separated DNA strands and allows the helicase to continue separating the DNA duplex.
