The Structure of the DNA!

Thumbnail supplied by the source for The Structure of the DNA!

Overview

We chose to find out what are the chemicals that affect the DNA’s model because it is a very interesting topic that will interest and increase knowledge for adults and children. This topic will also help for school and University.

Problem

What type of chemicals affect the structure of DNA?

Method

Several biological processes which affect behavioral systems, including as DNA methylation, histone codes, and miRNA expression, can be changed by chemicals from the environment. These changes may then affect gene activity, cell condensation and organization, and disease risk.

Research

While chemicals break down chemical connections in DNA, the metabolism releases substances that harm DNA, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species, reactive carbon species, lipid peroxidation products, and alkylating agents.

Data

While chemicals break down chemical connections in DNA, the metabolism releases substances that harm DNA, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species, reactive carbon species, lipid peroxidation products, and alkylating agents.

Conclusion

In conclusion, our research has shown that the following chemical kinds have an impact on DNA structure: lipid oxidation products, alkylating agents, reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species, and reactive carbon species. These substances damage the structure of DNA by breaking chemical connections that release metabolism.
