    As someone who did not take a single chemistry course, I wish to ask a question (after looking for a satisfactory answer online w/o success). What significance do the different geometric shapes play and how did they come to be chosen. Is each a scientific standard for the position shown in the video? Is there a reference chart of shapes used available? Or a link to an article and/or site that might explain it, >simply<?

    • @lunkel8108
      @lunkel8108 Місяць тому

      I'm not quite sure what you mean. The pentagons and hexagons represent the shapes of the molecules. Their corners are where the atoms lie and the edges represent the chemical bonds between the atoms. Their significance lies in that fact that they represent the shape of the molecules. In the case of ribose, the structure is actually more 3-dimensional but it's represented as a pentagon because in reality there are 5 atoms there connected to eachother like the corners of a pentagon. There are molecules that have little triangles in them and ones with squares and ones with pentagon and so on and so forth. So when we draw them, we draw those shapes. The only "shape" they use that doesn't really have anthing to do with the way the atoms are connected are the circles they use to represent the phosphate groups. They show the actual atoms in there at 2:03. It's not like "blue circle" is a universal symbol for "phosphate group" or something like that. There's no "scientific standard" or "reference chart". Whoever made the graphics thought "hmm, I need some kind of symbol to indicate that there's something here, this blue circle will do fine (and kind of match the color chosen for the ribose)" If I completely misunderstood your question or you would like me to explain anything further, let me know

      @@lunkel8108 are the molecules actually shaped as displayed, or is it simply a way to represent how many and where connections are made? Depends how you read "pentagons and hexagons represent the shapes of the molecules" (ref.) It's difficult to adequately convey the questions in my mind, having never liked the sciences enough to learn more than I did in required classes. So, please forgive my ignorance.... but, I certainly thank you for responding.

    • @lunkel8108
      @lunkel8108 Місяць тому

      @@mnrd34 Yes, the molecules are really those shapes, with 2 (maybe 3) caveats: 1) This is a pretty minor one: the side lengths and angles are commonly not all perfectly equal as in a regular pentagon/hexagon/etc. If the ring only consist of one type of atom (e.g. all carbon) (and all of the bonds are of the same type), then all of the lengths and angles will be perfectly regular. If you introduce other atoms such as nitrogen (in the nucleobases) or oxygen (in the sugar), then some atoms end up taking up more space than others and pulling on eachother by different amounts, resulting in bond lengths and angles that differ by a few percent from what you would observe in a perfect regular polygon. But in general, they're pretty approximations. 2) This is a bigger point. In general, molecules are not flat. They have more complicated 3D conformations. The nucleobases are an exception. If you look at their structures, you might notice that every second bond is a double bond. This gives rise to a phenomenon called "aromaticity" that leads to them being completely flat (within the ring structures). The classic example of an aromatic molecule is benzene, which is a perfectly flat, perfectly regular hexagon of carbon atoms. But if you don't see double bonds between every second pair of atoms, rings of atoms are 3D. The (deoxy)ribose here is a good example. If you search for "2' endo vs 3' endo" or something like that, you'll see the two conformations it can take. For 6-membered rings, look up "chair conformation" to see the actual structure. 3) You could argue about what it really means for a molecule to "look like" something. Here we're just talking about the relative position of each atom. Connected to this, but more complicated, is what the electrons between and around those atoms are doing and how they are distributed. If you'd look at the electron density instead of the nuclear positions, you would end up with a slightly different picture. Again, if you have any more questions, I'd be happy to help

    Since when I was in Intermediate School, I was interested in DNA. That's may be the reason why I feel intrigued in this video. By watching this video, I learned that DNA has its own order in its lines and each lines are called "Watson" and "Crick". There's must be other interesting secrets about DNA I might feel happy to understand . I hope I can see them soon not in the vague but in the vivid color. 10818 안재율

    • @sukanyaroyart
      @sukanyaroyart 7 місяців тому

      Initially, the dna was negatively supercoiled with a LEFT handed turn. So by convention, W=-1. Topoisomerase 2 cut both strands and passed the dna through the gap thus created. Now the dna became positively supercoiled with one RIGHT handed turn. So W=+1. So from -1 to +1, the value of W increased by 2.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🧬 DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid, and this video explores its key structural features and their importance for function. 00:29 🧬 Double-stranded DNA forms a double helix, with the most common form being B-form DNA. 00:58 🧬 Each DNA strand consists of polynucleotides made up of nucleotides with three components: a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases. 01:25 🧬 Nucleotides in DNA are deoxynucleotides, and they bond through phosphodiester bonds, forming the DNA backbone with a 5' to 3' directionality. 02:23 🧬 DNA strands have different orientations, with one being 5' to 3' and the other 3' to 5'. 02:50 🧬 DNA strands interact through non-covalent hydrogen bonds between the bases, forming base pairs that are specific in their pairing. 03:47 🧬 DNA base pairs include pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine) and purines (adenine and guanine), which form hydrogen bonds with specific geometry. 04:16 🧬 The DNA double helix is highly regular, with each turn comprising approximately ten base pairs, and pi-pi interactions between bases stabilize the structure. 04:44 🧬 The DNA double helix features major and minor grooves that act as recognition and binding sites for proteins, allowing sequence-specific and non-sequence-specific interactions. 05:14 🧬 Understanding DNA's structural features helps explain its function and how proteins interact with it for various tasks.

    1:40 If like me you are confused because the C atoms in the sugar are number counterclockwise, while perhaps you expected them to be clockwise, image to make the same drawing with a marker on glass. Now if you look at the glass from one side, you get the C atoms numbered counterclockwise, and the 5' to 3' prime direction going left to right (on the top polymer); if you look at it from the other side, you get the C atoms numbered clockwise and the 5' to 3' direction going right to left!
