Abstract:
We have discussed the possible hydrogen bonding mode of adenine-uracil base dimers and peptide side chains, together with their characteristic effects on the stability of adenine-uracil base pairing in chloroform solution by using proton nuclear magnetic resonance methods, where acetamide and butyric acid were used as a model of residues of glutamine and glutamic acid, respectively, and were added to an adenine-uracil equimolar mixture. The stability of base pairing was affected significantly when the model compounds approached the adenine-uracil base pairs; that is, the Hoogsteen type was destroyed, while the Watson-Crick type was formed more favorably.

Nucleic Acids
DNA and RNA
The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA is the genetic material in all living organisms, ranging from single-celled bacteria to multicellular mammals. It is in the nucleus of eukaryotes and in the organelles, chloroplasts, and mitochondria. In prokaryotes,...
