(a)
Interpretation:
The hydrogen bond complementarity that results from pairing of imine isomer of C with A is to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
The DNA structure is formed by the base pairing of nucleotides. The complementarity rule of DNA states that A will always make two hydrogen bonds with T and G always makes three hydrogen bonds with C. Any change in the structure of
(b)
Interpretation:
The hydrogen bond complementarity that results from pairing of enol isomer of T with G is to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
The DNA structure is formed by the base pairing of nucleotides. The complementarity rule of DNA states that A will always make two hydrogen bonds with T and G always makes three hydrogen bonds with C. Any change in the structure of nucleotide changes the hydrogen bond pairing of nucleotide, which results in mutation in DNA structure.

However, samples of the ketone below in its pure form (with no acid, base or water present) contain nearly 10% of the enol form! OH -90% -10% From this data, we can infer that the enol isomer of this ketone is particularly stable. Explain the stability of this enol, using terms and ideas that we have discussed in this unit.arrow_forwardWhich is the major substitution product of the reaction shown?
