Examine this figure. Dinucleotide Location in Phosphate Bond Image Description A visual representation of a nucleotide bonded with another nucleotide with a phosphate bond, an arrow is pointing towards the place where nucleotide with base A  attaching to nucleotide with base T. Is it DNA or RNA? ________ Is the arrow pointing to the 5′ or 3′ carbon? ________ Suppose that the dinucleotide was cleaved with the enzyme spleen diesterase, which breaks the covalent bond connecting the phosphate (marked with *) to the 3′ carbon. After such cleavage, to which base is that phosphate now attached, A or T? ________

The overall characteristics of a polypeptide (hydrophobic, hydrophilic etc.) is generally caused by the sum of the characteristics of the amino acids in the polypeptide. For instance, if the majority of the amino acids in polypeptide are hydrophobic, the polypeptide will generally be hydrophobic in nature.  Given this information, the polypeptide depicted above would most likely be: (Hint: Use the chart given on the formula sheet) Arg-Thr-Cys-Cys-Trp-Gln-Gln-Gln-Glu

Adding the molecule urea to a protein causes major disruption in structure. This disruption is due to loss of hydrogen bonds.  Which level of protein structure is least likely to be disrupted by urea?
