Final (ch 3) Flashcards
(51 cards)
Base pairs of DNA
A+T, G+C
Base pairs of RNA
A+U, G+C
Purines have this structure
double ring
purines
A,G
Pyrimidines
T,U,C
Pyrimidines have this structure
single ring
DNA (full name and why)
deoxyribose
-H at carbon 2 of pentose
RNA (full name and why)
Ribose
-OH at carbon 2 of pentose
The base attaches to this carbon
C1
The phosphate attaches to the sugar at this carbons
C3
C5
nucleoside =
base + sugar
nucleotide _
base + sugar + phosphate
nucleotides link thorugh these types types of bonds
5 - 3 phosphodiester bonds
A+T hydrogen bonds
2
G+C hydrogen bonds
#
How long are the bonds
10.85A
most abundant form of DNA in nature
B-DNA
This DNA has 11 base pairs/turn
A-DNA
Left handed helix in this DNA
Z-DNA
these are both right handed helix DNA
B-DNA
A-DNA
Eukaryotic DNA with this charge wraps around these with this charge resulting in this
negative
histones
postivie
chromatin
each ‘bead’ on the string is this
nucleosome
Melting point of DNA is this
temp 1/2 of DNA is denatured
This is a reason DNA will have a higher melting point
[G-C] > [A-T]
