    First class explanation. The repetitive speech style of the author actually helps to reinforce the ideas.

    Thanks Sal! I have been wondering too why does the DNA is drawn with the O in the phosphate group having a negative charge, while it's being called an acid. Took me a while to find any reference addressing this. Thanks for clearing that up!

    wait so why cant thymine pair up with guanine, it looks like it can make a solid 2 bonds with guanine since the oxygen on guanine or the oxygen in thymine can bond with one of the middle hydrogens and the oxygen from thymine can pair with the hydrogen at the bottom of guanine, plus as proven at the end of the video where adenine and thymine have only 2 bonds to make a rung, so why cant thymine bond with guanine?

    why purine and pyrimidine are numbered differently

  • @Walter5850
    @Walter5850 7 років тому

    So why can't Cytosine for example pair with Adenine?
    It would make N - H - N , N - H - N hydrogen connections, and it's oxygen could just hog a little hydrogen to himself from somewhere just like what happens with thymine?
    I know sometimes the nitrogenous bases can connect weirdly when mutations happen, but I'm just wondering on a chemical scale, what would be the reason that this just doesn't happen all the time?

    why is the other strand having a kind of inverted sugar

    • @alecbrady6901
      @alecbrady6901 8 років тому +1

      DNA is made up of two antiparallel strands - they run parallel to each other but one is inverted or 'upside-down'. In Sal's depiction, the left strand is running 5' to 3' from top to bottom, and the right strand is the opposite to this and is running 3' to 5' from top to bottom. 5' and 3' just refer to the number carbon which is at the top and bottom of the chains. Hence, the other strand has an inverted sugar because it is upside down to the other strand. You can work out whether a strand is 5'->3' or 3'->5' by looking at the oxygen atom - the oxygen atoms always 'point' towards the 5' end of the strand.

      I still don't understand how hydrogen bonds can make proteins practically bulletproof when it's so easy to break hydrogen bonds.

    • @wouldbfarmer2227
      @wouldbfarmer2227 3 місяці тому

      Yep. I was wondering about this also. This is why we always double check our info. Is it possible he crossed up Cytosine with Thymine?

    • @wouldbfarmer2227
      @wouldbfarmer2227 3 місяці тому

      Correcting my statement. The Cytosine looks okay. He didn't label the CH3 as you stated. it should be off of the arm at the upper left by the arrow from the word 'Thymine'.

    Does anyone know how to solve on the phone?

    • @hipfire1920
      @hipfire1920 4 роки тому

      Non-autogenerated subtitles are put in manually by the creators or volunteers. Also, sometimes subtitles are turned off by the creator, if they choose.
