Chapter 26, Problem 26.52AP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

RNA is treated with periodic acid, and the product of that reaction treated with base, only the nucleotide residue at the 3' end is removed. The given transformation is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

RNA is made of ribose sugar and nucleotides. Periodic acid is an oxidizing agent. It oxidizes the vicinal diols to vicinal dial by breaking the carbon-carbon bond between two alcohol groups. The nucleotide at 3' end contains vicinal diol so the reaction takes place at 3' end of RNA molecule.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The same reaction can be performed with DNA or not, is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

DNA is deoxyribose nucleic acid. The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose. DNA does not contain any vicinal diol group. Periodic acid is an oxidizing agent. Periodic acid reacts with vicinal diol to form dialdehyde group.

indicate the RIGHT alternative: (a) The Zwitterion form of an amino acid exists only at a point pH value. (b) In a peptide bond there is free rotation at the C-N bond. (c) In a polypeptide, the terminal carboxyl group may be present in its amide form. (d) At a pH greater than pI, an amino acid tends to move towards the cathode in an electrophoresis. (e) At any pH below pI, the predominant form of an amino acid is negatively charged.
