For some DNAs it is possible to separate the two strands, after denaturation, in a CsCl gradient. Part A Suppose that you centrifuged a transfer RNA molecule to equilibrium in an alkaline CsCl gradient. What result would you expect? The RNA strands would be efficiently separated from each other. The RNA strands would be partially separated from each other. The RNA would be completely oxidized to
CO_(2)and
H_(2)O. The RNA would be completely hydrolyzed.
