Hydrogen Bonding In Dna: Understanding Adenine-Thymine Base Pairing
In DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) through hydrogen bonding, forming the A-T base pair. This pairing is a result of the specific arrangement of electronegative atoms in each base that allows for two hydrogen bonds to form: one between the N1 atom of adenine and the N3 atom of thymine, and another between…
