Hydrogen bonds can form with bases on the opposite DNA strands in the double helix, or between the bases and H2O in the single stranded conformation. Considering that the double helix is the most stable conformation in water, how does this observation support the conclusion that base stacking contributes more to helix stability than interbase hydrogen bonding?Hydrogen bonds can form with bases on the opposite DNA strands in the double helix, or between the bases and H2O in the single stranded conformation.

Size doesn't matter.
Large molecules diffuse faster.
Small molecules diffuse faster.

Recall that the Hoopoe birds are getting cancer because of the HCP retrovirus – take a look at the viral transforming gene, v-hcp compared to the c-hcp/mtk gene (above). (v-hcp lacks a ligand binding domain) Is a mAb therapy strategy likely to be useful in treating the virally-caused cancer? Briefly explain.
