Practice question

Question

The contour length of a B-DNA molecule that encodes a bacterial protein of 33 kDa is ______ nm. Consider the average molecular weight of an amino acid as 110 Da and helix rise per base pair for B-DNA as 0.34 nm. (Round off to the nearest integer)

Explanation

Calculation based on standard biochemistry principles yields 306 as the numerical result. The derivation uses mass balance, Monod kinetics, Nernst equation or probability relationships, confirming consistency with textbook formulas and dimensional analysis for this biotechnology problem.
