DNA Reactions

My knowledge of chemistry is vastly limited. I can’t make a difference between ene, ane, ylene,yl etc. These are all extensions used by chemists. There are innumerable compounds in chemistry. Chemists use two-part nomenclature to name simple molecules. Complex molecules need multiple words. DNA or Deoxyribonucleic acid. In this word ‘deoxyribo‘ can be expanded to deoxyribose. The ‘ose’ is part of the name that denotes sugar. This gets further and further expands. One of the DNA bases is adenine. Out of these ‘ine’ will denote something. It will be useless to call someone a chemist who does not know these ABCs

During my production process, I read and discussed chemistry. My study was limited to deriving visual content from the same and developing an understanding. I was fascinated by DNA separation process.

DNA has 3.2 billion bases. Each DNA has two strands both spirals parallel to each other. These spirals are connected by ‘bases’. Within each base, there are complex molecules. Within each molecule, there are either two or three molecular bonds. When DNA splits all these bases and bonds get separated. Eventually, the DNA recombines. This scale is unparalleled in any chemical reaction known.

All of the breakages and recombination involve hydrogen bonds.
