rajesh_m Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Is the synthetic dna which is manmade, made organic just like the original dna? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Exactly what do you mean by organic? If you are referring to this, the DNA compounds they make are still organic macromolecules since they still contain a carbon based framework. I'm not sure if that answers your question or not, however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insane_alien Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 nope. a molecule has no memory, so as long as the atoms are in the right configuration it is impossible to tell whether the molecule came from a biological or synthetic source. of course, if we are considering bought chemical then it IS often possible to tell. The biological origin stuff tends to have a lot more contamination than the synthetic stuff. Please note, contaminant in this case means 'anything other than the desired substance', not necessarily harmful' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
