Question

Why is it reasonable to assume that helix nucleation is a purely entropic event? Select one: a. Nucleation is accompanied by a big increase in translational entropy b. Nucleation is accompanied by a big decrease in translational entropy c. Nucleation is accompanied by a big increase in conformational entropy. d. Nucleation is accompanied by a big decrease in conformational entropy e. Nucleation is accompanied by a big increase in the entropy of the solvent f. Nucleation is accompanied bya a big decrease in the entropy of the solvent. g. Nucleation is accompanied by a big increase in the electrostatic repulsion between the strands. h. Nucleation creates a stacking interaction.

Explanation / Answer

The correct option is option (d)

The nucleation means the thermodynamics process where the DNA self Lidgate with the change in the thermodynamics.. As the DNA self ligate the entropy the randomness decreases..!!
