The DNA double helix (Figure 25.40) at the atomic level looks like a twisted ladder
Chapter 11, Problem 11.84(choose chapter or problem)
The DNA double helix (Figure 25.40) at the atomic level looks like a twisted ladder, where the "rungs" of the ladder consist of molecules that are hydrogen-bonded together. Sugar and phosphate groups make up the sides of the ladder. Shown are the structures of the adeninethymine (AT) "base pair" and the guanine-cytosine (GC) base pair: You can see that AT base pairs are held together by two hydrogen bonds, and the GC base pairs are held together by three hydrogen bonds. Which base pair is more stable to heating?
