1. Why do proteins become polycations at extremely low pH and become polyanions at very high pH?
2. Explain why hydrogen bonding is important to protein structure.
DNA exists in cells as a double-stranded duplex molecule, whereas RNA, which is composed of very similar nucleotides linked together in the same way, does not form a doublestranded duplex in cells. Why not? If you were to place complementary single-strands of RNA in a test tube, would they spontaneously form duplex molecules?
8. Provide the structure of guanine, a heterocyclic base found in DNA.
9. Provide the structure of adenosine, a nucleoside.
10. Provide the structure of cytidine 5’-monophosphate, a nucleotide consisting of a cytosine base, a ribose and a phosphate group.

- Chemistry Write the complimentary (1) DNA nucleic acid sequence and (2) RNA nucleic acid sequence that would pair with this DNA sequence: ATTAGATCAT. We know that amino acids and proteins can move in a certain direction in an electric field when they are in solutions of appropriate pH. Would you expect lipid molecules to move in an electric field? Do you expect nucleic acids and nucleotides (DNAs and segments of DNAs and RNAs) to move in an electric field? Why or why not?arrow_forwardSome proteins such as DNA ligase can temporarily bind to DNA.

(A) They all have the same primary structure. (B) They are formed principally by hydrogen bonds between a carbonyl oxygen atom in one peptide bond and the amide hydrogen from a different peptide bond. (C) They are formed principally by hydrogen bonds between a carbonyl atom in one peptide bond and the hydrogen atoms on the side chain of another amino acid. (D) They are formed by hydrogen bonding between two adjacent amino acids in the primary sequence. (E) They require a high content of proline and glycinearrow_forwardI have a question about ''complementary nucleotides''. Books and google makes me confused. Correct me if Im wrong. Everywhere I read, it says ''nucleotides in basepairing are complementary''. But the basepairing are part of the nucleotides structure? shouldnt the basepairing in nucleotides be complementary, meaning the bases have been linked together via hydrogen bonding, which results in the shape of nucleotides???? Or do they mean that, nucleotides are complementary because their bases have formed bond with each other, which gives the shape of nucleotides?? I dont know why I dont get it. Please explain so I can understand it. Thank youarrow_forward
