Question
Chapter 20, Problem 71E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The rate expression for the formation of double helix in DNA is to be derived from the following mechanism:
Where S1 and S2 represent strand 1 and 2 and (S1:S2)* is the unstable helix.
Concept introduction:
- An intermediate is species that is formed during the reaction but is not the product of that reaction. It means it is produced during the reaction and consumed during the reaction.
- Steady state approximation is a method to derive the rate law. According to this, the intermediate is consumed as soon as it is produced.
