Question
Chapter 23.16C, Problem 23.45P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The diagram which shows hydrogen-bonded guanine-cytosine and adenine-thymine pairs are to be drawn and the reason as to why the hydrogen bonds involved in the pairing are particularly strong is to be stated.
Concept introduction: A hydrogen bond is a strong type of bond or electrostatic attraction which mainly occurs when hydrogen atom is bound to a more electronegative atom. It is of two types; intramolecular hydrogen bonding and intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
To determine: The diagram which shows hydrogen-bonded guanine-cytosine and adenine-thymine pairs and the reason as to why the hydrogen bonds involved in the pairing are particularly strong.

Given that Kb for ammonia is 1.8 * 10-5 and that for hydroxylamine is 1.1 * 10-8, which is the stronger base?
According to the paper, F486 is a phenylalanine residue (i.e., an amino acid that is part of a chain that forms a protein) on SARS-CoV-2. It has an important interaction with ACE2 (best seen in Fig. 1(C) and Fig. 2(A)). Looking at this phenylalanine and the green residues surrounding it, which statement best describes the interaction that could be occurring?
a) It forms a hydrogen bond with Y83.
b) It forms a dipole-dipole interaction with M82.
c) It forms London dispersion forces with surrounding residues.
d) It encounters repulsions from surrounding residues.

- Consider the following tetrapeptide, written in a sequence according to normal convention, from left to right: Residue 1 is acidic; Residue 2 is cysteine (an amino acid containing a –CH2SH R-group); Residue 3 is proline (a large hydrophobic amino acid); Residue 4 is basic. Of the following four general statements, which one is TRUE regarding this tetrapeptide? This tetrapeptide does not have the ability to form a disulfide linkage with an identical tetrapeptide. Residue 2 belongs to the amino acid category known as "basic." 3 of these 4 responses are correct This tetrapeptide could be part of an alpha-helix, since the large size of the proline would not have any impact on the consistency of the spiral shape.
