Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Draw the structure of DNA dinucleotide AG.
Concept introduction:
Biopolymers are made up of nucleotides, which are joined together to give rise to a long chain. Each
Nucleotides are linked together in DNA and RNA by phosphodiester bonds [RO-(PO2-)-RO’] between phosphate, the 5’-hydroxyl group on one nucleoside, and the 3’-hydroxyl group on another nucleoside. One end of the
Given information:
There is no information given in the question, but as we have to draw the structure of DNA dinucleotide AG, therefore, two units must comprise of: 2’-Deoxyadenosine 5’-phosphate and 2’-Deoxyguanosine 5’-phosphate.
The structures of two reactant units are given below:

Organic Chemistry
- Digitalis is a preparation made from the dried seeds and leaves of the purple foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, a plant native to southern and central Europe and cultivated in the United States. The preparation is a mixture of several active components, including digitalin. Digitalis is used in medicine to increase the force of myocardial contraction and as a conduction depressant to decrease heart rate (the heart pumps more forcefully but less often).arrow_forward21-44 Describe the difference in structure between the male hormone testosterone and the female hormone estradiol.arrow_forwardTreating chitin with H2O, -OH hydrolyzes its amide linkages, forming a compound called chitosan.
