Interpretation:
The structural formulas for the enethiol forms of 6-mercaptopurine and 6-thioguanine has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
The
Explanation of Solution
The enethiol is also the enol form which contains Sulphur molecule instead of Oxygen. The enethiol form is the alcoholic form of the Sulphur. The double bonded Sulphur is converted to thiol form of the Sulphur.

- 4) 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.

- DNA Replication1) Construct the complementary strand of DNA (strand II) that would pair with the DNA strand I sequence below. Remember that nucleotides are always added in the 5 prime to 3 prime direction. The base pairing rules are: DNA DNAadenine (A) always bonds with thymine (T) thymine (T) always bonds with adenine (A) guanine (G) always bonds with cytosine (C) cytosine (C) always bonds with guanine (G) STRAND I: 3’ T A C T A T A G T C T G T C T C C C A C T 5’ STRAND II: 5’ 3’arrow_forwardThe DNA of bacteriophage lambda has 1.2 x 10^5 nucleotides.
