The hydrogen bonding interactions in a Watson-Crick AT base-pair involve what units in the adenine base?
A) N-1 and the amino group on C-6
B) N-1 and N-3
C) N-7 and the amino group on C-6
D) N-7 and C-8

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hydrogen bonding interactions in a Watson-Crick AT base pair involve N-1 and the amino group on C-6 of the adenine base. These sites on adenine form hydrogen bonds with corresponding sites on thymine, facilitating the specific pairing between these two bases in DNA.
