Which statement best explains the chemical differencesbetween DNA and RNA? (a) DNA has two different sugarsin its sugar–phosphate backbone, but RNA only has one.(b) Thymine is one of the DNA bases, whereas RNA’s correspondingbase is thymine minus a methyl group. (c) TheRNA sugar–phosphate backbone contains fewer oxygenatoms than DNA’s backbone. (d) DNA forms double helicesbut RNA cannot.
Q23:
Dr. Alghe has just performed a restriction digest on DNA she extracted from her samples. She must now run her DNA out on a gel to separate the fragments based on size. To do this she must prepare a 1.1% agarose gel, where the percentage is determined as mass/vol.
How many grams of agarose must she add to 413 mL of buffer in order to arrive at the correct percentage? (answer to 2 decimals)
**Assume the dissolution of agarose will not alter the final volume of the solution**
The following data were recorded from an experiment to measure the activity of a peptidase
enzyme. A number of solutions of different concentrations of a dipeptide were prepared then the
same small amount of the enzyme was added to each of them. The rate of cleavage of the peptide
bond was measured and the initial rate of the reaction was recorded

- 4) Paxlovid is treatment for COVID-19 that was recently approved for use because it can drastically reduce the risk for hospitalization and death when taken early in the infection. It is actually a package of two different antiviral drugs. One of those is Nirmatrelvir, which is a modified tripeptide protein mimetic designed to covalently bind to and inhibit the main protease (MPro) from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This protease recognizes and hydrolyzes peptide bonds at specific points in their sequence, and it is essential for viral replication. a. Below is one of the sequences that Mpro recognizes and cleaves. It cleaves the peptide bond between the glutamine and the glycine. Draw out the structure of a peptide with this sequence, including the appropriate stereochemistry for biological amino acids and assuming the peptide is at physiological pH (pH = 7.4). SGVTFQGKF b.

The reverse transcriptase enzyme that copies RNA into DNA is relatively nonselective and error-prone, leadingto a high mutation rate. Its lack of selectivity is exploited by the anti-HIV drug AZT (3′@azido@2′,3′@dideoxythymidine),which becomes phosphorylated and is incorporated by reverse transcriptase into DNA, where it acts as a chain terminator.Mammalian DNA polymerases are more selective, having a low affinity for AZT, so its toxicity is relatively low.(a) Draw the structures of AZT and natural deoxythymidine.(b) Draw the structure of AZT 5′@triphosphate, the derivative that inhibits reverse transcriptase.*2arrow_forwardindicate the RIGHT alternative: (a) The Zwitterion form of an amino acid exists only at a point pH value.

- Sketch the structures of ribose and deoxyribose ‐‐‐ what is the structural difference? Which nucleotides are associated with DNA? Which ones with RNA? Why must detergent be added to liberate the DNA? What parts of the cell contain DNA?arrow_forwardA 5-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) forms the central molecule in a nucleotide. By convention, the carbon atoms in the sugar are numbered from the original carbonyl position on the chain using a number plus the prime symbol (‘). For example, a nitrogenous base is attached to the 1’ (pronounced “one prime”) carbon position, which was originally the sugar’s carbonyl group. A phosphate group is attached to the 5’ carbon position, the carbon atom that is outside the sugar ring.Refer to the structure of a nucleotide and select the statement which is incorrect:arrow_forwardMany peptides react further after synthesis (process is called post-translational modification).
