Answer to Question 1

As DNA is replicated, the new chain is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction.

Answer to Question 2

Step 1 Attachment of 5'-DMT-N-benzoyl-2'-deoxyaguanosine to the polymer support by a 3' ester linkage.
Step 2 Deprotection of the 5'-hydroxyl by cleavage of the DMT ether with dichloroacetic acid in CH2Cl2.
Step 3 Phosphite formation between the free 5'-hydroxyl of the polymer-bound N-protected 2'-deoxyguanosine and the phosphoramidite protected 5'-DMT-2'-deoxycytidine in the presence of tetrazole followed by oxidation to the phosphate triester with I2.
Step 4 Repeat step 2 to deprotect the 5'-hydroxyl of the polymerGC.
Step 5 Repeat step 3 to form the phosphate triester between 5'-hydroxyl of 2'-deoxycytidine residue and phosphoramidite protected 5'-DMT-N-benzoyl-2'-deoxythymidine.
Step 6 Cleave all protecting groups from the heterocyclic bases from the phosphates, as well as cleave the ester bond holding the DNA to the silica by treatment with aqueous ammonia.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
