Question
Chapter 4, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Explain the three types of double helix DNA structure with their differences.
Concept introduction:

True or false
A long chain polymer in which the internucleotide linkages are of the diester type between C-3’ and C-5’
Hydrolyzed by weak alkali (pH 9 to 100°C)
Different from RNA since in the latter the internucleotide linkages are between C-2’ and C-5
Usually present in tissues as a nucleoprotein and cannot be separated from its protein component
Reposting - What would the tertiary structure of the dipeptide Asp-Ser be if it was made into a polypeptide chain? (Would it form a beta pleated sheet, an alpha helix, etc) Why would it do this? What properties of this polypeptide causes this?
This sub part still needs to be solved - What would the tertiary structure of Pro-ala and Glycl-L-alanine be?

- Tick the correct statements: Remember: Tautomers are structural isomers that differ from each other based on the position of the proton(s) and their double bonds. ( ) The nitrogenous bases of nucleic acids, which contain heterocyclic and analogous nuclei, can adopt different tautomeric forms involving multiple H+ that are exchangeable depending on the medium. In DNA, spontaneous formation of smaller tautomers appears to contribute to mutagenic errors during DNA replication, while in RNA, they seem to be related to increased structural and functional diversity of enzymes and RNA aptamers (research this and confirm if it is false or real) ( ) in relation to the figure, anomer 1 has beta stereochemistry with respect to the C anomeric of the pentose, and is making an N-glycosidic bond ( ) in relation to the figure, anomer 1 has alpha stereochemistry with respect to the C anomeric of the pentose, and is making an N-glycosidic bond ( ) In general, in naturally occurring nucleosides,…arrow_forwardTrue/false? if false, justify briefly The bacterial nucleoid comprises linear nucleic acid molecules associated with proteins that ensure the compaction of nucleic acids.arrow_forwardDirectionality of Polynucleotide chains originates at the ____ end, and terminates at the _____ end. a 3’ OH; 5’ Phosphate b 5’ OH; 3’ Phosphate c 5’ Phosphate; 3’ OH d 3’ Phosphate; 5’ OHarrow_forward
