  2. 3-Methylhexane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-Methylhexane

    3-Methylhexane is a branched hydrocarbon with two enantiomers. [2] It is one of the isomers of heptane. The molecule is chiral, and is one of the two isomers of heptane to have this property, the other being its structural isomer 2,3-dimethylpentane. The enantiomers are (R)-3-methylhexane [3] and (S)-3-methylhexane. [4]

  3. Non-canonical base pairing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-canonical_base_pairing

    Most often the non-canonical base pairs are involved in those tertiary contacts or extra-stem base pairs. For example, some of the non-canonical base pairs in tRNA appear between the D-stem and TψC loops (Figure 5), which are close in the three-dimensional structure. Such base pairing interactions give stability to the L-shaped structure of tRNA.

  4. Non-nucleophilic base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-nucleophilic_base

    As the name suggests, a non-nucleophilic base is a sterically hindered organic base that is a poor nucleophile.Normal bases are also nucleophiles, but often chemists seek the proton-removing ability of a base without any other functions.

  5. Cytosine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytosine

    Cytosine (/ ˈ s aɪ t ə ˌ s iː n,-ˌ z iː n,-ˌ s ɪ n / [2] [3]) (symbol C or Cyt) is one of the four nucleotide bases found in DNA and RNA, along with adenine, guanine, and thymine (uracil in RNA). It is a pyrimidine derivative, with a heterocyclic aromatic ring and two substituents attached (an amine group at position 4 and a keto group ...

  6. DNA-binding metallo-intercalators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA-Binding_Metallo-inter...

    [1] [2] [3] In addition to π-stacking between the aromatic regions of the intercalator and the nitrogenous bases of DNA, intercalation is stabilized by van der Waals, hydrophobic, electrostatic, and entropic interactions. [2] This ability to bind to specific DNA base pairs allows for potential therapeutic applications of metallo-intercalators.

  7. Wobble base pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wobble_base_pair

    Wobble base pairs for inosine and guanine. A wobble base pair is a pairing between two nucleotides in RNA molecules that does not follow Watson-Crick base pair rules. [1] The four main wobble base pairs are guanine-uracil (G-U), hypoxanthine-uracil (I-U), hypoxanthine-adenine (I-A), and hypoxanthine-cytosine (I-C).

  9. Intercalation (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercalation_(biochemistry)

    The degree of unwinding varies depending on the intercalator; for example, ethidium cation (the ionic form of ethidium bromide found in aqueous solution) unwinds DNA by about 26°, whereas proflavine unwinds it by about 17°. This unwinding causes the base pairs to separate, or "rise", creating an opening of about 0.34 nm (3.4 Å).
