The following is diagram of a generalized tetranucleotide. Carbons exist at corners on the shapes and phosphate groups are filled circles A. Suppose that one of the precursors for the tetranucleotide in the diagram was a 32P-labeled guanine nucleoside triphosphate (the innermost phosphate containing the radioactive phosphorus). Where is the radioactive phosphorus atom (i.e., one of the solid black balls) as it exists in the tetranucleotide B. If spleen diesterase (which induces breaks between the phosphate and the 5’ carbon) is used to digest the pictured tetranucleotide, state which base(s) among the breakdown products will be expected to be attached to the 32P.
