Summary Introduction

To review:

The effects of intercalation of aromatic hydrocarbons between the stacked bases of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) structure.

Introduction:

Aromatic hydrocarbons are the structures, which have a planar ring comprising of the sigma bonds along with delocalized π-electrons. The intercalating agents are defined as the molecules that contain several polycyclic rings that can bind to the nitrogenous bases of DNA. The examples of intercalating agents are proflavine and acridine.

Staphylococcus nuclease is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of DNA.The reaction is catalyzed by Ca2+, Glu 43, and Arg 87. Explain how the metal catalyst facilitates this reaction. Recall that the nucleotides in DNA havephosphodiester linkages.
Question 1.)Draw the main chain structure of a parallel beta sheet that has 4 amino acids in one strand and 5 in the other. Show all of the backbone atoms.Write R1, R2, R3, etc, instead of drawing side chains with the following exception: draw one proline in its entiretywith its side chain. You can put it anywhere in your sheet – I will find it. Add in all hydrogen bonds that stabilize this sheet using dashed lines.
Thymine is a nitrogenous base or nucleosides?
