(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The property of lysine that enables it to interact with the DNA.

Introduction: The DNA or the deoxyribonucleic acid is composed of nucleotides, and it comprises genetic information that is essential for development, and reproduction of organisms.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of acetylation on lysine interaction with the DNA and gene expression activation.
