Chapter 21, Problem 21.22E
BIO Base Pairing in DNA, II. Refer to Exercise 21.21. Figure E21.22 shows the bonding of cytosine and guanine. The O—H and H—N distances are each 0.110 nm. In this case, assume that the bonding is due only to the forces along the O—H—O, N—H—N, and O—H—N combinations, and assume also that these three combinations are parallel to each other. Calculate the net force that cytosine exerts on guanine due to the preceding three combinations. Is this force attractive or repulsive?

Water molecules have a specific geometry. In terms of molecular geometry the molecule is referred to as "bent." Using the picture below, what is the net electrostatic force on the oxygen due to the two hydrogens? [NOTE: 1 Å is 1✕10-10 m, and this crazy unit of distance is called an Angstrom. SECOND NOTE: You may recall water bonds through hydrogen bonding. This creates ions of H+ and O2-.]

Bacterial biofilms are especially problematic on indwelling medical devices (IMDS), which are devices inserted into a patient and include catheters, heart valves, and artificial joints. Contaminated IMDS are the most common source of infection in humans. A number of mitigation methods are in use today, including antibacterial graphene oxide coatings and the use of electric fields and surface charges to repel bacteria.
