• The template strand must contain the following sequence of bases:

5` ATCAGTCGGTTC 3`

• Draw the appropriate structure of purines and pyrimidines and illustrate hydrogen bonding between the base pairs
• Show appropriate sizes on your diagram
• Indicate distances between bases
• Indicate width of DNA strand
• Indicate the distance between turns
