Q2.1 - Hydrogen bonds can form with bases on the opposite DNA strands in the double helix, or between the bases and H2O in the s

ingle stranded conformation. Considering that the double helix is the most stable conformation in water, how does this observation support the conclusion that base stacking contributes more to helix stability than interbase hydrogen bonding

Answer:

Explanation:

In the  structure of  Nucleic acids the nucleobases (nucleotide and bases) are arranged is  a specific  form.This form of arrangement is called Base stacking.It simply refers to the bond formed between the adjacent bases.

These nitrogenous bases of (A,T,C.G) pairing  in DNA are in planes in geometry.The bases planes stack  with one another.This form of arrangement  give rooms for more Van der Waals interactions in the plane of the bases.Although the Van der Waals are weak interactions,the bond ensure that these bases are braided or twisted together to give maximum energy,to maintain stability of the bases,and therefore of DNA structure

Therefore in water  and other aqueous solution the stability of  structure of DNA is enhanced by the base stacking,(coiling or twisting)with maximum van der waals interaction  among the bases, than the hydrogen  bonds formed between bases.Generally there are more stacking among G-C,than A-T,thus the former pairing contribute more the structural stability than the latter (A-T)

What is the cause of the peripheral edema that often manifests with glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome?.
marta [7]

Answer:

Nephrotic syndrome (also called nephrosis) happens when your kidneys start losing large amounts of protein in your urine. As your kidneys get worse, extra fluids and salt build up in your body. This causes you to have swelling (edema), high blood pressure and higher levels of cholesterol.

Summary of gene expression starting with DNA anding with proteins.
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Normally, transcription begins when an RNA polymerase binds to a so-called promoter sequence on the DNA molecule. ... Some regulatory proteins affect the transcription of multiple genes. This occurs because multiple copies of the regulatory protein binding sites exist within the genome of a cell.
