DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

Experimental information that went into the W&C model Chemistry (Chargaff):
A=T  and   G=C
X-ray diffraction (Rosalind Russell): helix
W&C model reflects function Base sequence encodes information Base complementarity transmits information
DNA interacts to carry out its functions by... ... base complementarity ... protein recognition of base sequences
