Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The hydrogen bonded base pair of hypoxanthine with adenine is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine and it develops some partial charge on both the atom. Hydrogen bonds can also be formed between the lone pair of an electronegative atom and hydrogen atom attached with an electronegative atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
The hydrogen-bonded base pair of hypoxanthine with uracil is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine and it develops some partial charge on both the atom. Hydrogen bonds can also be formed between the lone pair of an electronegative atom and hydrogen atom attached with an electronegative atom.

- On complete hydrolysis, a polypeptide gives two alanine, one leucine, one methionine, one phenylalanine, and one valine residue. Partial hydrolysis gives the following fragments: Ala-Phe, Leu-Met, Val-Ala, Phe-Leu. It is known that the first amino acid in the sequence is valine and the last one is methionine. What is the complete sequence of amino acids?arrow_forward22-42 (a) How many atoms of the peptide bond lie in the same plane? (b) Which atoms are they?arrow_forwardDraw a complete lewis dot structure(showing all atoms,bonds,ione pairs, and charges) of the nucleotide DEOXYCYTIDYLATE and clearly circle the phosphoester bond in the structure. The base is Cytosine and the sugar is Deoxyribose.arrow_forward
- Why are Guanidins and Amidins such strong bases?arrow_forwardThere are two families of nitrogenous bases. The pyrimidines have one six-membered ring carbon and nitrogen atoms while purines are larger with a six-membered ring fused to a five -membered ring. Identify the type of nitrogenous base from monomer nucleotides. How can you tell?arrow_forwardFrom the following list, please choose the conjugate acid of NH3* - CH2 - coo". NH3*- CHR- Cоон O NH3* - CH2 - соон O NH42+ – CH2 - COOH NH2 – CH2 - CO0- NH2 - CH2- СООН QUESTION 17 Which of the following statement is NOT true? TRNA contains many modified bases such as pseudouridine and inosine. A-form DNA is a right-handed helix featuring C3'-endo sugar pucker. Ribosome is the site of protein biosynthesis (i.e., MRNA translation). Information may flow from RNA to DNA. RNA cannot function as an enzyme. QUESTION 18 At its pK, what percentage of boric acid is ionized? 75%. 10%. 50%. 100%. 25%.arrow_forward
- The pK value for N1 of adenine is 3.64, whereas the pK value for N1 of guanine is 9.50. Explain this diff erence.arrow_forward1. Draw the two Watson-Crick Bases Pairs and show how G- C and A-T recognize each other by hydrogen bonding. 2. Draw the full structure of two nucleotides - one from DNA and one from RNA. Point out the key difference between the two. 3. Write out an example of a condensation reaction forming a phosphate-sugar bond. 4. Write out an example of a condensation reaction between a nucleic acid base and a sugar. 5. State the "Central Dogma" of biochemistry.arrow_forward4) 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. What would the net charge of the peptide be at physiological pH?. c. At what pH would the peptide be net neutral?arrow_forward
- Consider the following DNA fragment. Identify the 5' and 3' ends, and label each of the nitrogenous basesarrow_forward5-Bromouracil (BU) resembles thymine sufficiently that BU base-pairs readily with adenine in a DNA helix, and it can readily substitute for thy- mine in DNA replication. However, its electron distribution allows it to resemble cytosine sufficiently that BU can pair with guanine. Show how a few rounds of replication in the presence of BU could convert an A-T base pair to G-C, and identify the products of each round of replication.arrow_forwardRNA 1 What nucleic acid is used to transport an amino acid to the site where a protein is being manufactured?
