"DNA denatures at a higher temperature than does protein, yet its structure depends on relatively weak hydrogen bonds. Why the d

ifference in denaturation temperature"
Biology
1 answer:
Reika [66]3 years ago
3 0

The option are not given and the options are:

Proteins are denatured by breaking covalent bonds.

Linear molecules like DNA are inherently stable.  

Individual hydrogen bonds may be weak, but DNA structure is stabilized by many thousands or millions of these bonds - far more than found in proteins.

The statement is incorrect; it actually takes far more energy to denature proteins than it does to denature DNA.

Answer:

The correct answer is- Individual hydrogen bonds may be weak, but DNA structure is stabilized by many thousands or millions of these bonds - far more than found in proteins.

Explanation:

Proteins become denatured when it looses its three-dimensional structure. Disulfide bond and hydrogen helps in stabilizing the three-dimensional structure of proteins and if these bonds break due to any factor protein lost its structure and function.

DNA is made up of a large amount of hydrogen bond because in AT base-pairing two hydrogen bonds are required and in GC base pairing three hydrogen bonds are required. Therefore it can be concluded that as more hydrogen bonds stabilizes DNA than protein its melting temperature is higher than protein.

How does the cell regulate the substrate specificity of ribonucleotide reductase to maintain equal amounts of all four deoxynucl
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is A When dTTP is bound to the specificity site, more dCDP is produced

Explanation:

Ribonucleotide reductase catalyzes the conversion of ribonucleotide to deoxyribonucleotide.

                  When dTTP is bound to the specificity site at that time dCDP is produced.The So formed dCDP is converted to dUDP by the help of dCDP deaminase.The dUDP is then converted to dUTP by phosphorylation.

               Finally the dUTP is converted to dTTP by the catalytic activity of thymidylate synthase with the presence of N5 N10 methylene tetrahydrofolate.

        Thus equal amount of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates  are maitained by the cell.
