a)
Interpretation:
The type of interaction hold by double helical strand together has to be found.
Concept introduction: Hydrogen bond- Hydrogen bond is the non-covalent bond which consists of hydrogen atom. Hydrogen bond forms the reversible bond between different hydrophilic groups. When two sides chains are react they release water molecule. This is a weak bond.
Stacking interaction: Stacking interaction is the non-covalent interaction. These interactions are electrostatic and hydrophobic in nature. Stacking interaction depends on their dipole moments and
Inter-strand stacking interaction.
- a) Intra-strand stacking interaction.
For identify the stabilizing effects of base stacking, base pairs are consider more important instead of individual bases .This is the non-covalent and weak interaction consists of hydrogen atom and one donor and acceptor atoms.
b)
Interpretation:
The covalent bond interaction hold by double helical strand together is not good; the reason has to be found.

- 22-62 Distinguish between intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding between backbone groups. Where in protein structures do you find one, and where do you find the other?arrow_forward21-90 To what extent do lipids and carbohydrates play structural roles in living organisms? Do these roles differ in plants and in animals?arrow_forward22-85 Denaturation is usually associated with transitions from helical structures to random coils. If an imaginary process were to transform the keratin in your hair from an (-helix to a (-pleated sheet structure, would you call the process denaturation? Explain.arrow_forward
- . How many unique amino acid sequences are possible for a tripeptide containing only the amino acids gly, ala, and cys, with each amino acid occurring only once in each molecule?arrow_forwardAlthough RNA is single-stranded, the strand sometimes folds back on itself to give a complementary portion. What would be the complementary portion of the RNA fragment having the bases uracil-cytosine-guanine? A virus is a particle that contains DNA or RNA that is surrounded by a coat of protein that can replicate only in a host cell. The influencza virus shown in this electron microscope image is an RNA virus.arrow_forward
