Label the major and minor grooves. 2) Sketch a ribose in the pucker that is expected in RNA. 3) Sketch a 2’ deoxyribose in the pucker that is expected in DNA. 4) Draw a GCG triplet (GC Watson-Crick), with perfect geometry. Draw the bases only, with dR’s at the N-9 positions of the purines (Gs) and at the N1 positions of the pyrimidine (C)
In the Watson-Crick structure of DNA, the: a. adenine content of one strand must equal the thymine content of the same strand. b. nucleotides are arranged in the A-form. c. purine content (fraction of bases that are purines) must be the same in both strands. d. two strands are parallel. e. the strands are complementary to each other.
Biochemist Erwin Chargaff was the first to discover that, in DNA, [A] = [T] and [G] = [C]. These equalities are now known as Chargaff's rule. Using Chargaff's rule, determine the percentages of all of the bases in DNA that is 26% thymine.

a) It is known that double stranded DNA is denatured at low pH. pKa values should allow the determination of whether this is due to perturbation of the hydrogen bonding in A-T and/or G-C base pairs. The table gives values for the pKas of different protonated groups in the nucleobases.Nucleobase Position & pKa A N1, 3.5 G N7, 1.6; N1, 9.2 C N3, 4.2 T N3, 9.7a) Draw the A-T and G-C base pairs. - Label the bases with the one-letter code. – - Number the atoms in the rings and label the atom that attaches to the sugar. - Mark the groups that interact in normal…
When DNA is heated, it denatures; that is, the strands separate because hydrogen bonds are broken and some base-stacking and hydrophobic interactions are disrupted. The higher the temperature, the larger the number of hydrogen bonds that are broken. After reviewing DNA base pair structure, determine which of the following molecules will denature first as the temperature is raised. Explain your reasoning. a. 5′-GCATTTCGGCGCGTTA-3′ 3′-CGTAAAGCCGCGCAAT-5′ b. 5′-ATTGCGCTTATATGCT-3′ 3′-TAACGCGAATATACGA-5′

For entertainment on a Friday night, a genetics professor proposed that his children diagram a polynucleotide strand of DNA. Having learned about DNA in preschool, his 5-year-old daughter was able to draw a polynucleotide strand, but she made a few mistakes. The daughter’s diagram (represented here) contained at least 10 mistakes. a. Make a list of all the mistakes in the structure of this DNA polynucleotide strand. b. Draw the correct structure for the polynucleotide strand.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disorder caused by different types of mutations, many of which prevent ions from moving across cell membranes. Normally there are channel proteins that allow passage of the ions, but in patients with one kind of CF these proteins seem odd. Closer examination shows that these proteins display the correct amino acid sequence. However, they fail to do their job. A) Given that the primary structure of the protein is correct, what can you infer about the DNA sequence for the gene coding this protein on this patient, is there a mutation? Explain. B) Why is the primary structure insufficient to guarantee the proper function of the protein?
