1. (6 marks) An RNA sequence AAAAGCUUUU hybridizes with its complementary sequence (as shown below) 2 (AAAAG cuuuu) following a very fast kinetics, which is described by the following expression: 1 4k₁[M] + K-1 where is the relaxation time, [M] is the concentration of the oligonucleotide, ki and k.1 are the equilibrium constants for the forward and backward reactions, respectively. Rearrange the equation above so that you can plot a linear graph between some form of t and [M]. (2 marks) Each of the following question is worth 1 mark: What would you plot on the y-axis? A-A-A-A-G-C-u-u-u-u 4-4-4-4-C-G-A-A-A-A What would you plot on the x-axis? What would be the slope of this graph? What would be the y-intercept of this graph? 1.
