Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The hydrogen bonded base pair of hypoxanthine with adenine is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine and it develops some partial charge on both the atom. Hydrogen bonds can also be formed between the lone pair of an electronegative atom and hydrogen atom attached with an electronegative atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
The hydrogen-bonded base pair of hypoxanthine with uracil is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine and it develops some partial charge on both the atom. Hydrogen bonds can also be formed between the lone pair of an electronegative atom and hydrogen atom attached with an electronegative atom.

- On complete hydrolysis, a polypeptide gives two alanine, one leucine, one methionine, one phenylalanine, and one valine residue. Partial hydrolysis gives the following fragments: Ala-Phe, Leu-Met, Val-Ala, Phe-Leu. It is known that the first amino acid in the sequence is valine and the last one is methionine. What is the complete sequence of amino acids?arrow_forwardFor the tripeptide GlyAlaCys a. What amino acid is located at the peptides N-terminal end? b. What amino acid is located at the peptides C-terminal end? c. How many peptide bonds are present? d. How many amide linkages are present?arrow_forward22-42 (a) How many atoms of the peptide bond lie in the same plane? (b) Which atoms are they?arrow_forward
- Please don't provide handwritten solution...arrow_forwardFrom the following list, please choose the conjugate acid of NH3* - CH2 - coo". NH3*- CHR- Cоон O NH3* - CH2 - соон O NH42+ – CH2 - COOH NH2 – CH2 - CO0- NH2 - CH2- СООН QUESTION 17 Which of the following statement is NOT true? TRNA contains many modified bases such as pseudouridine and inosine. A-form DNA is a right-handed helix featuring C3'-endo sugar pucker. Ribosome is the site of protein biosynthesis (i.e., MRNA translation). Information may flow from RNA to DNA. RNA cannot function as an enzyme. QUESTION 18 At its pK, what percentage of boric acid is ionized? 75%. 10%. 50%. 100%. 25%.arrow_forwardWhy are Guanidins and Amidins such strong bases?arrow_forward
- There are two families of nitrogenous bases. The pyrimidines have one six-membered ring carbon and nitrogen atoms while purines are larger with a six-membered ring fused to a five -membered ring. Identify the type of nitrogenous base from monomer nucleotides. How can you tell?arrow_forward#41 and #42arrow_forwardThe pK value for N1 of adenine is 3.64, whereas the pK value for N1 of guanine is 9.50. Explain this diff erence.arrow_forward
- 1. Draw the two Watson-Crick Bases Pairs and show how G- C and A-T recognize each other by hydrogen bonding. 2. Draw the full structure of two nucleotides - one from DNA and one from RNA. Point out the key difference between the two. 3. Write out an example of a condensation reaction forming a phosphate-sugar bond. 4. Write out an example of a condensation reaction between a nucleic acid base and a sugar. 5. State the "Central Dogma" of biochemistry.arrow_forwardPart A. Draw the peptide formed between asparagine and histidine. Part B Fill out the following tablearrow_forward5-Bromouracil (BU) resembles thymine sufficiently that BU base-pairs readily with adenine in a DNA helix, and it can readily substitute for thy- mine in DNA replication. However, its electron distribution allows it to resemble cytosine sufficiently that BU can pair with guanine. Show how a few rounds of replication in the presence of BU could convert an A-T base pair to G-C, and identify the products of each round of replication.arrow_forward
